Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup low-carb pizza sauce
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- Prepare the Dough:
- Combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and well combined.
- Add the almond flour, egg, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Roll and Cut:
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin, even layer.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut the rolled-out dough into small chip-sized triangles.
- Bake the Chips:
- Transfer the cut dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the chips are crisp.
- Prepare Toppings:
- While the chips are baking, prepare your toppings. Slice the pepperoni and black olives.
- Add Toppings and Bake Again:
- Remove the chips from the oven and spread a thin layer of low-carb pizza sauce over each chip.
- Sprinkle the sliced pepperoni and black olives over the sauce.
- Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Second Bake:
- Place the topped chips back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve and Garnish:
- Remove from the oven and set aside for a few minutes to cool.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
