# What You’ll Need:
→ Cheeses
01 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
02 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
→ Meats
04 - 40-50 slices pepperoni (about 4 ounces)
→ Seasonings
05 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - Red pepper flakes, optional to taste
→ Garnish
08 - Fresh parsley, chopped, optional
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses. Mix well. Add Italian seasoning and garlic powder to the cheese mixture. Toss to combine thoroughly. Add red pepper flakes if you prefer extra heat.
03 - If pepperoni slices are large, cut them in half for more manageable crisps.
04 - Arrange the pepperoni slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each slice for even cooking.
05 - Sprinkle a generous amount of the cheese mixture evenly over each pepperoni slice, ensuring full coverage.
06 - Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, lightly golden, and the pepperoni is crispy.
07 - Remove from the oven and let crisps cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely for maximum crispness.
08 - Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
