• Directions

• Place pepperoni slices on a plate covered in a few layers of paper towels.  Lay pieces of pepperoni in rows in a single layer, not touching, on the paper towel. Microwave for 1 minute (watching carefully).  If the pieces of pepperoni don’t look “dry”, microwave again in 15 second spurts until they look dry.  Remove from microwave and sprinkle with cheese and/or seasonings of your choice.  Allow to completely cool and enjoy the crunchy goodness!
