PEPPERONI PIZZA CRISPS
These thin cheese crisps baked with pepperoni are a great way to get that savory pizza flavor you crave--without the carbs. I cut the pepperoni into adorable heart shapes but you could make them any shape you want.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- On the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle the coarsely grated Parmigiano into 12 thin disks, each about 2 inches in diameter. Sprinkle the finely grated Parmigiano over the 12 disks, filling in any holes with the cheese.
- Next, top each disk with 2 pepperoni hearts. Sprinkle with the oregano and basil and bake until the cheese crisps are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Let cool (the cheese will crisp up as it cools) then peel the crisps off of the parchment. Serve with warmed pizza sauce and enjoy.
PEPPERONI CHIPS
Crisp little chips of pepperoni that are an excellent snack with beer or even a glass of wine. They are quite addictive. From World Wide Recipes. UPDATE (10-27-06): I have always purchased Hormell pepperoni, but recently tried an off brand and found that they burned very quickly when I baked them. The length of time for baking will depend on your oven and the pepperoni. You will need to adjust to find the proper time for you...it could be up to 20 minutes.

AIR FRYER PEPPERONI CHIPS
Great on their own as a snack or an excellent tool for your favorite dip. My favorite dip to pair these with is spinach and artichoke dip. I also like to use them as a replacement for croutons in a salad. You get that crunch and they have so much flavor you can cut back on the dressing as well.
