Pepperoni Chips
"Crisp little chips of pepperoni that are an excellent snack with beer or even a glass of wine. They are quite addictive. From World Wide Recipes.
UPDATE (10-27-06): I have always purchased Hormell pepperoni, but recently tried an off brand and found that they burned very quickly when I baked them. The length of time for baking will depend on your oven and the pepperoni. You will need to adjust to find the proper time for you...it could be up to 20 minutes."

Excellent recipe, but for a interesting change, use hard salami. The chips are bigger, and the taste is awesome. -
I like to top mine with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with fresh chopped basil, it looks great and adds the smooth coolness this appetizer needs! -
I grew up on these! we used to make them in the microwave by placing the pepperoni on a plate on top a few layers of paper towels to absorb the grease. Just nuke em until they're crispy... maybe even a little burnt! They're awesome! Since they have a bit of a kick to them, i love to eat them with cream cheese... double yummm! -
You can also get the same crunch by putting the pepperoni on a plate with a double layer of paper towels and microwaving it. The time depends on how many pieces and how powerful your microwave. I normally do 3-4 of the larger slices for about 30 seconds. <br/><br/>I love my crunchy pepperoni and add it to almost everything. I crumble it in refried beans, on top of baked potato soup, or just add the whole slices to grilled cheese sandwiches to add a little meaty taste. :)

No need to heat the oven and the whole kitchen (I live in South Florida). I've been doing this for years in the microwave. Place 1-2 sheets of paper towel on a paper or microwave safe plate. Top with pepperoni slices just touching and cover with another sheet of PT to catch spatters. Cooking time depends on the wattage of your microwave or the % power you use, My MW is 1250 watts. Yours may be 750 watts. Watch how the chips cook and adjust time and power accordingly.
