Cheryl’s Recipe Corner
Pepperoni Chips
Ingredients
1 package of sliced pepperoni
Grated parmesan, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, etc.
Directions
Place pepperoni slices on a plate covered in a few layers of paper towels. Lay pieces of pepperoni in rows in a single layer, not touching, on the paper towel. Microwave for 1 minute (watching carefully). If the pieces of pepperoni don’t look “dry”, microwave again in 15 second spurts until they look dry. Remove from microwave and sprinkle with cheese and/or seasonings of your choice. Allow to completely cool and enjoy the crunchy goodness!
