How to Make Pepperoni Chips or Crisps in an Air Fryer
Cris here.
We are always on the lookout for really great low carb snacks that we can use as dippers for our crock pot party dips. Most party dips are low in carbs but traditional crackers and chips are not. So when I saw this oven recipe for Crispy Pepperoni Chips, I fell in love with the idea of using pepperoni as a chip.
However, when we are on the road, using my oven is not a good option so I began to think through how I could use my air fryer and also my Ninja Foodi air crisp feature to whip us up a batch of our favorite crunchy low carb snack.
They turned out perfectly! So now I can have my low carb pepperoni chips at home AND on the go!
Notes on Air Fryer Pepperoni Chips
- We have tested this recipe using my air fryer and also my Ninja Foodi.
- Towards the end of cooking the chips will fly around the air fryer and stack on top of each other. Don’t worry, they are already crisped up and will be just fine. Just transfer to a plate or bowl to allow them to cool.

These are delicious! Have you tried a recipe with deli lunch meat slices in the air fryer? I haven’t been successful at it. Thanks!
Pat
Sorry, we have not tried this with deli meat.
why does my ninja foodie grill smoke so much with these when air frying ? Am I doing something wrong?
We haven’t had that experience. You can try adding a little water to the pan below the griddle to see if that helps.
How would you store them?
We usually store them in a baggie in the fridge. Enjoy!
These were delicious! My air fryer is a different brand than yours but I made the first batch as per your instructions and the ones on the top tray were a little more done than the bottom tray. The second batch I made turned out better because I rotated the trays halfway through cooking time. Now I need to get more pepperoni to make more of these yummy snacks!
So glad you enjoyed these and figured out how to adjust the recipe to work best with your unit!
I made these in the Ninja Foodi digital air fryer oven. Took 5 minutes on 360. I used the air fry basket with the pan underneath to catch the drippings. They were delicious!
Thanks for the idea.
So glad you enjoyed them Tammy!
These were just what I needed to satisfy my chip and dip craving! Have you ever tried with the larger pepperoni slices? I’m curious if cook time/temp would be the same. Thanksfor the recipe!
So glad you enjoyed these Kyley! We haven’t tried this with larger pepperoni slices, but if you give it a try, let us know how it goes!
You are my hero, these are so freaking awesome! I made these in my foodi according to your directions, they came out perfect. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
Yay! We’re so glad you enjoyed these Cathy! Thank you for taking the time to let us know. We love hearing a reader likes a recipe we have posted!
Wow first thing I have cooked in new air fryer I have never eaten pepperoni before Amazing must remember next time not to get extra peppers on them

I’m gonna try these in my foodie oven!
How did they turn out Lisa?
I stand by my first reaction when I saw the video on YouTube, “OMG…ARE YOU KIDDING ME”!!! This is a Must Try!!!
Do you store yours in the fridge?
Hi Jan-
I store mine in a baggie in the pantry… when they last that long! 😉
How many chips per serving?
Hi Shirley-
Our package says 15 chips per serving. Hope that helps!
This is totally my low carb crunchy snack go-to!
