Crispy Pizza Chips are a quick and easy homemade snack that combines the irresistible flavors of pizza with the satisfying crunch of chips.

Fully customizable and made with simple ingredients, they’re a delicious, preservative-free alternative to store-bought snacks.

Ingredients

Base

  • Flour Tortillas – 4 large
  • Olive Oil – 2 tablespoons

Toppings

  • Marinara Sauce – 1/2 cup
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – 1 cup
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese – 1/4 cup
  • Italian Seasoning – 1 teaspoon
  • Red Pepper Flakes (optional) – 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tortillas: Cut 4 large flour tortillas into triangle or chip-sized pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter for even shapes to ensure consistent crisping.
  2. Brush with Olive Oil: Place the tortilla pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly coat each chip on both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil using a brush or drizzle method to help them bake golden and crispy.
  3. Bake the Base: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the oiled tortilla pieces for 7-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Bake until crisp but not overly browned, preparing them for toppings.
  4. Add the Toppings: Remove chips from the oven and spoon small amounts of 1/2 cup marinara sauce on each chip. Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired for heat.
  5. Final Bake to Melt: Return topped chips to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Let chips cool slightly before serving for maximum crunch and easy handling.

Notes

  • Cut tortillas evenly to ensure every chip crisps consistently.
  • Use just enough olive oil to avoid sogginess and maximize crispness.
  • Watch the baking time closely to prevent burning; adjust second bake as needed.
  • For extra crispness, place chips on a wire rack on your baking sheet to promote airflow.
  • Feel free to customize sauces and toppings to suit your flavor preferences.
