These pepperoni chips with dipping sauce make a simple, crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack. Crispy baked pepperoni paired with a tangy, creamy mustard dip is quick to prepare and always popular.
For a satisfying savory bite, bake pepperoni slices until crisp and serve them with a homemade keto-style mustard dipping sauce. The chips are crunchy, flavorful, and fast to make—perfect for parties, casual snacking, or a special appetizer course.
About the dipping sauce
The dipping sauce is a creamy mustard blend that comes together in minutes. A base of mayonnaise and sour cream gives the sauce a smooth texture; I often use an avocado oil mayonnaise but any keto-friendly or favorite store-bought mayo works well. To build bright, layered mustard flavor, combine both stone-ground mustard and Dijon mustard. For extra zip, add prepared horseradish to taste—store-bought or homemade both work. The ingredients are flavorful enough on their own, so no additional herbs or spices are necessary unless you prefer them.
How to make the pepperoni chips and dip
Make the dipping sauce first so the flavors can meld while you bake the pepperoni. Preparing the chips is quick: line a baking sheet with parchment, arrange pepperoni slices in a single layer without overlapping, and bake until crisp. The pepperoni releases some fat during baking and will continue to crisp slightly as it cools. Transfer the chips to paper towels to blot any excess grease before serving.
Serving suggestions
These pepperoni chips are versatile. Serve them as an appetizer or party snack, arrange them on a platter for a pretty presentation, or pack both chips and dip ahead for an easy make-ahead snack. They pair nicely with other keto appetizers or as part of a casual spread with soups, chili, or sandwich boards. The mustard dip also works well with raw vegetables.
