I LOVE keto pepperoni chips! Let me tell you why these crunchy baked pepperoni chips are a must. Let’s see. They are made with ONE INGREDIENT! Yes. One. (It’s pepperoni! ;)). They are DELICIOUS. I don’t know about you, but I want my snacks to be as tasty as possible. They are ZERO CARBS. Yes!!!! I’ll show you how to make pepperoni chips (or pepperoni crisps as they are sometimes called)!
They make a delicious snack but they are also great to pack up for lunches. You’ll see how versatile this pepperoni crisps recipe is!
Eating keto out and about can sometimes be tricky. Sure there are things like cheese or eggs available, but I’ve found that I much prefer to pack up my own snacks and not leave my snacking up to whatever is available at the closest gas station!
And I’ve got just the solution to make portable snacks easy! This snack pack container called Go Stak by Whiskware (an on-going partner of mine) makes the process easy – and fun! Simply fill each section up, twist together, and go!
I obviously prefer crunchy veggies, crispy keto pepperoni chips, and some yummy homemade ranch dip in mine. They have small and medium sizes, and are airtight so any dressings or dips won’t leak out.
What Are Pepperoni Chips?
These baked pepperoni chips are crispy chips made out of…pepperoni! Yes! It’s possible and it’s also a delicious, low carb and keto snack.
Crispy pepperoni chips can be eaten straight, or used for a dip like a cracker or chip. There are so many delicious dip options for dipping! Ranch, veggie, or queso come to mind… 🙂

Can turkey pepperoni be used?

That should work fine, Dia! There’s likely less fat in it, so watch closely for any signs of burning.
