For a smoky variation, use smoked paprika instead of Cajun seasoning. Experiment with other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian herbs. Store cooled crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Transform humble pepperoni slices into crispy, intensely flavorful chips! These savory bites are perfect for solo snacking, elevating a cheese board, or plunging into a vibrant marinara.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
Arrange the pepperoni slices in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Ensure the slices aren't overlapping for even crisping. Sprinkle evenly with Cajun seasoning. (2 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently pat away any rendered grease with paper towels. (12 minutes)
Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking until the pepperoni crisps up and achieves your desired level of crunchiness, approximately 2 to 4 additional minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning. (4 minutes)
Transfer the crispy pepperoni chips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any remaining grease. Allow them to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
