Creating the perfect Crispy Pepperoni Pizza Chips starts with the foundational element: the crust. Leaving a border around the edges of your pizza chips is crucial for achieving the ideal texture. This crust border not only provides structural integrity but also enhances the overall crunchiness of the chips. When you leave a little extra dough around the perimeter, it bakes to a perfect golden brown, offering a satisfying crisp that contrasts beautifully with the cheesy, savory center.

Ingredients
  

1 large tortilla (choose between flour or corn)

1/2 cup of your favorite pizza sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Olive oil spray (for crispy texture)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C), allowing it to reach the optimal temperature for baking.

    Prepare the Tortilla: Place a large tortilla flat onto a baking sheet. To make the cleanup easier, line the baking sheet with parchment paper.

      Add Pizza Sauce: With a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the pizza sauce evenly across the tortilla, being careful to leave a small border around the outer edge for a crust.

        Layer the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the pizza sauce, making sure to cover it completely for a cheesy experience.

          Distribute Pepperoni: Evenly scatter the mini pepperoni slices across the cheese. This ensures every bite is packed with flavor and achieves a delightful crispiness.

            Season the Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and optional red pepper flakes over the assembled ingredients to infuse them with flavor.

              Add Olive Oil Spray: Lightly mist the outer edges of the tortilla with olive oil spray. This step is crucial for achieving a perfectly golden and crispy finish.

                Bake to Perfection: Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes. The pizza chips are ready when the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the tortilla are golden brown and crispy.

                  Cool and Slice: Upon removing the baking sheet from the oven, let the pizza chip cool for a few minutes. Then, use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to slice it into chip-sized pieces for easy snacking.

                    Serve and Enjoy: If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic finishing touch. Serve the crispy pizza chips immediately as a delicious snack or fun appetizer!
