Easy-Peasy Instructions
Preheat & Prep: Fire up your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). No need to grease the basket—the pepperoni brings its own oils!
Arrange in a Single Layer: Lay the pepperoni slices in the basket, ensuring they don’t overlap. You want them crispy, not steamed, so cook in batches if needed.
Air Fry to Perfection: Cook for 6-8 minutes, checking near the end. They’re done when they are deep red, golden at the edges, and perfectly crisp.
Drain the Grease: Carefully remove the chips and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. This blots any excess oil for maximum crunch.
Season & Serve: While still warm, give them a flavor boost! A sprinkle of grated Parmesan, a dash of Italian seasoning, or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes takes them to the next level.
