Why Make Pizza Chips

Pizza Chips are not only a fun way to enjoy pizza flavors, but they’re also a healthier alternative to traditional chips. By using fresh potatoes, you can control the ingredients and make them as wholesome as you like. They are great for parties, as a light snack, or for satisfying your pizza cravings in a unique way. Plus, they can easily be tailored to your taste preferences, whether you want to add more spices or different toppings.

How to Make Pizza Chips Step by Step
Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices (optional)
• 1/4 cup pizza sauce for dipping

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash and thinly slice the potatoes into rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
3. In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
4. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni slices if using.
6. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the chips are crisp.
7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving with warm pizza sauce for dipping.

How to Serve Pizza Chips

Serve your Pizza Chips with a side of warm pizza sauce for dipping — it’s a perfect way to enhance the flavors. Pair them with a light salad or fresh veggies to balance the meal, making it a delightful option for a casual get-together or game night. They also make a fantastic appetizer at parties, as guests can grab and enjoy them with ease.

How to Store Pizza Chips

If you have any leftovers (though they rarely last long!), store your Pizza Chips in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply place them in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F for a few minutes until they regain their crispiness. For longer storage, consider freezing the uncooked potato slices before baking; just make sure to separate them in a single layer on a baking sheet first.

Expert Tips for Cooking Pizza Chips

• Slice the potatoes uniformly for even cooking and crispiness.
• Experiment with different seasonings, like chili powder or Italian seasoning, for a unique flavor twist.
• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; this helps achieve maximum crispiness.
• For an extra cheesy version, layer more mozzarella before the final bake.
• Try using sweet potatoes for a deliciously different take on Pizza Chips.

Delicious Variations of Pizza Chips

• Spicy Pizza Chips: Add crushed red pepper flakes or spicy Italian sausage for a kick.
• Herbed Pizza Chips: Incorporate fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for an aromatic flavor.
• Veggie Pizza Chips: Top with diced bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms before baking for a vegetarian option.
