Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Preheating ensures the oven is hot enough to create the crispy texture for your chips.

Lightly grease 16 cups of a mini muffin pan using cooking spray or a brush with oil. This ensures easy removal of the chips after baking.

Place 2 teaspoons of shredded mozzarella cheese into each greased cup. Lightly pat down the cheese with your fingers or a spoon for even melting.

Place 3 slices of mini pepperoni on top of the cheese in each cup. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top if desired for extra flavor.

Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes, or until the edges of the cheese are dark golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning, as oven times may vary.

Let the chips cool in the muffin pan until safe to touch. This ensures they firm up for easier removal. Use a small spatula or knife to gently loosen and lift the chips out of the pan. Place the chips on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb extra grease.

Serve the chips warm on their own or with marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with extra Italian seasoning or grated Parmesan for added flavor, if desired.
