Ingredients
Sliced pepperoni – 6 oz
Ritz crackers – 48
Grated mozzarella cheese – 1 lb
Marinara sauce – 1 cup + extra for dipping
Ranch seasoning – 2 tablespoons
Unsalted butter (melted) – ½ cup
How to Make Pepperoni Pizza Crackers
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk the melted butter with ranch seasoning.
Arrange the Ritz crackers on one baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle each cracker lightly with the ranch butter. Top each with shredded mozzarella.
Spread pepperoni slices evenly on the second tray so they crisp while baking.
Place both trays in the oven and bake for 15 minutes on the top rack. The cheese should be melted and bubbly, and the pepperoni slices crisp.
Remove from the oven. Spoon a little marinara onto each cheesy cracker and top with a slice of pepperoni. Serve warm with extra marinara for dipping.
Serving Tip
Add a bowl of warm marinara on the side for dunking—because pizza bites deserve extra sauce love.
