Pepperoni Crisps Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place pepperoni slices in the basket of the air fryer, making sure they are only slightly overlapping if need be.
• Cook for 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer slices to a paper towel-lined plate and let sit for 5 minutes for final crisping. Eat immediately or refrigerate and store in an air-tight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Arrange pepperoni in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet; sprinkle with Cajun seasoning.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and pat away grease with paper towels. Return to oven and bake until crisp, 2 to 4 additional minutes. Drain on paper towels. Store cooled chips in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Lay the pepperoni slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and soak up the excess grease by pressing paper towels against the pepperoni chips. Return the pan to the oven and bake an additional 2 to 4 minutes, until the pepperoni slices are very crispy.
• Serve as a snack anytime or use in place of crackers for dipping or for topping with your favorite cheese! They'll stay fresh and crispy for 1 to 2 days if you store them in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Place the pepperoni slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake until crispy, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer to paper towels to absorb the fat and cool to room temperature.
• Season with coarse black pepper, if desired.
• Will keep for several days at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, according to package directions, until about 2 minutes shy of al dente so that the pasta can finish cooking in the sauce. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
• While the pasta is cooking, in a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium. Add pepperoni and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisped and brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• If the pan looks dry, drizzle in a little more oil. Add garlic, fennel seeds, red-pepper flakes (if using) and a large pinch of salt, and cook until garlic is lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook until it darkens, about 1 minute.
• Add the drained pasta, lemon zest and 3/4 cup of the reserved pasta water to the skillet. Stir until the pasta is al dente and well coated with the sauce. Add more pasta water, if needed, until the sauce is glossy and the pasta is cooked to taste.
• Cut the zested lemon in half and squeeze some juice into the pasta. Stir in herbs and taste, adding more lemon juice and salt, if needed. Cut the remaining half lemon into wedges and serve it alongside the pasta, which should be garnished with more herbs and a drizzle of oil, and sprinkled with Parmesan, if you like.
