Ingredients
  

1 package of round tortilla chips (about 10 oz)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup sliced pepperoni

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prep the Tortilla Chips: Spread the round tortilla chips out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure they do not overlap for even cooking.

      Add the Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each chip. Make sure to cover them well for that pizza effect.

        Layer on the Toppings: Top each chip with a slice of pepperoni, adding about 2-3 slices per chip for optimal flavor. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top for an extra cheesy crunch.

          Season It Up: In a small bowl, mix together the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the topped chips for added flavor.

            Bake to Crispy Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, and the edges of the chips are golden brown.

              Cool Down: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet (they will crisp up even more while cooling).

                Serve with Marinara: Serve your crispy pepperoni pizza chips warm, accompanied by a side of marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy your delicious, snack-worthy pizza chips!
