Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Form Cheese Mounds:
- Take small heaps of shredded mozzarella cheese, about 1 tablespoon each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure to leave ample space between each mound as they will spread while baking.
- Bake Until Crispy:
- Flatten each mound of cheese slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to form thin, even circles resembling chips. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese has crisped up. Watch them closely as they can burn quickly.
- Cool and Add Sauce:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cheese chips to cool for 1-2 minutes on the sheet. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
- Carefully transfer the cheese chips to a serving platter or plate using a spatula.
- Top with Pizza Sauce:
- Spoon a small amount of sugar-free pizza sauce onto each cheese chip, using approximately 1/4 teaspoon per chip. Spread the sauce evenly over the surface of each chip.
- Add Optional Seasonings:
- Sprinkle each chip with a pinch of dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, and chopped fresh basil for added flavor and freshness.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Arrange the Keto Pizza Chips on a serving platter and enjoy them immediately while they are still warm and crispy. These chips are best served fresh out of the oven for maximum crunchiness and flavor.
