Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 8 flour tortillas or pita breads
Toppings
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup mini pepperoni slices or chopped pepperoni
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
Finishing
- Olive oil spray
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Chips: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the tortillas or pita breads into triangle-shaped chips.
- Bake Chips Initially: Arrange the cut chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray them with olive oil. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes until they become slightly crisp.
- Add Toppings: Remove the chips from the oven and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each chip. Sprinkle evenly with shredded mozzarella cheese, mini pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Bake to Melt: Return the topped chips to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted fully, is bubbly, and the chips turn golden and crisp.
- Cool and Garnish: Allow the pizza chips to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Optionally, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- For thicker chips, use naan or flatbread instead of tortillas or pita.
- Try alternative toppings such as black olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers to customize your pizza chips.
- Serve with extra warm marinara sauce for dipping to enhance the flavor.
