Description

Pizza Chips are a deliciously crispy snack that captures the classic flavors of pizza in a convenient, bite-sized form. Made with flour tortillas or pizza dough, topped with melted mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, and seasoned with garlic and Italian herbs, these chips are perfect for parties, game nights, or casual snacking. Served with warm pizza sauce for dipping, they bring the joy of pizza without the mess or effort of a full pie.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 large flour tortilla (or pizza dough)

Cheese & Sauce

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Others

  • Olive oil (for brushing)
  • Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the chips evenly.
  2. Prepare the Tortilla: Lay the large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface, or roll out your pizza dough into a thin round about 1/8 inch thick for the best crispiness.
  3. Cut the Tortilla/Dough: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the tortilla or dough into triangles or squares to create bite-sized chips.
  4. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush both sides of each cut piece with olive oil to promote browning and crisp texture.
  5. Add Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes if using. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over the tortilla or dough pieces.
  6. Add Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the seasoned pieces, then top with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
  7. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the pieces in a single layer without overlapping to ensure even baking.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges turn golden brown.
  9. Cool Down: Remove from the oven and let the pizza chips cool for a few minutes, allowing them to crisp up fully.
  10. Serve with Pizza Sauce: Warm up the pizza sauce while the chips cool, serving it as a dip alongside the chips.
  11. Garnish: Optionally chop fresh basil leaves and sprinkle over the chips for a burst of color and fresh aroma.
  12. Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy your homemade pizza chips with friends and family.

Notes

  • Add Toppings: Customize your chips by adding toppings such as pepperoni slices, diced bell peppers, olives, or cooked sausage before baking for extra flavor.
  • Experiment with Cheeses: Mix in other cheeses like cheddar or provolone to change up the taste profile.
  • Make it Spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce for those who prefer some heat.
  • Storage: Store leftover pizza chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
  • Serving Size: Recipe yields 4 to 6 servings, ideal for sharing.
