Notes
- If you cook these in the microwave and they aren't crisp after 1 minute, add 1 more minute. All microwaves will be different based on how powerful they are.
- Serve the pepperoni chips and dip with blue cheese, Ranch dressing, guacamole, or queso cheese sauce.
- Substitute another type of salami in place of the pepperoni for variety.
- These are best eaten within a couple of hours, but you can put them in the fridge if there's some leftover. Bring to room temperature for the best texture.
- Be sure to check the package label if you're on a low carb diet, some brands are even no carb!
