Crispy Pizza Chips are a quick and easy homemade snack that combines crunchy tortilla chips with melty mozzarella cheese, tangy marinara sauce, and classic pizza toppings like pepperoni and Italian seasoning. Perfectly baked to golden crispiness, these flavorful chips are customizable, kid-friendly, and ideal for sharing at parties or enjoying as a comforting savory treat.

Ingredients

Base

  • Tortilla Chips – about 3 cups (thick or restaurant-style)

Cheese & Sauce

  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – 1 to 1 ½ cups
  • Marinara Sauce – ½ cup (thinly spread)
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese – 2 tbsp

Toppings & Seasoning

  • Pepperoni Slices – 15 to 20 slices (optional)
  • Italian Seasoning – 1 tsp
  • Olive Oil – 1 tbsp (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Arrange the Tortilla Chips: Spread out the tortilla chips in a single even layer on the baking sheet. Avoid overlapping so each chip crisps evenly and melts the toppings properly.
  3. Add Marinara Sauce: Use a small spoon or brush to lightly spread marinara sauce onto each chip. Keep it thin to prevent sogginess and maintain that essential crispiness.
  4. Sprinkle with Cheese and Toppings: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella over each chip, then add pepperoni slices, a pinch of Italian seasoning, and a dash of grated parmesan for extra flavor depth.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and edges of the chips turn golden brown.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Remove from oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. This step helps cheese set slightly, making the chips easier to handle and even crispier.

Notes

  • Choose thick or restaurant-style tortilla chips for best results to hold toppings without getting soggy.
  • Apply marinara sauce in thin, even layers to preserve crispiness.
  • Use fresh shredded mozzarella cheese for better melting compared to pre-shredded varieties.
  • Keep an eye on baking time starting at 8 minutes to avoid burning while ensuring perfect crispiness.
  • Sprinkle fresh herbs like basil or parsley after baking to enhance flavor and freshness.
