directions

  • Line a Microwave-Safe Plate with several sheets of papertowel. Place the pepperoni slices in a single layer.
  • Microwave for 30 - 60 seconds (depending on the wattage of your microwave). The pepperoni slices should be nice and crispy and most of the grease absorbed on the papertowels.
  • If any in the center are not crispy looking and still feel soft, microwave more in 15 second increments.
  • Salt if desired.

  1. I've been making these for a long time, and could have sworn I'd rated them! Oh well... they are great! Crispy, spicy, fast and easy. One of the ways I've been using them (aside from just snacking) is to crumble them over my salad instead of bacon bits. Yum. Thanks for sharing this technique.
     
  2. This is so not good for my diet, but I figure there will always be someone thinner, younger, thinner, prettier, thinner, smarter and thinner. Right?
     
  3. These were delish! I used turkey pepperoni and they turned out great. I will be using these instead of bacon in some recipes. Thank You for posting.
     
  4. This has ben around so long, I forgot it, Thanks for bringing it back to my attention, .I think pepperoni is great this way, and has many uses. Thank You
     
  5. My new favorite snack. My micorwave also takes about 3 minutes and 30 seconds to crisp a plate full. (I prepare another plate full while waiting) This is hands down one of my favorite munchies!

Update 8/16/06: I am back in Alabama where I was originally born & raised. I am living with my sister for the time being, and am loving every minute of it. We share cooking duties as both of us are now working. I love coming here to find new quick easy-fix meals that I can cook for my sister so she does not have to worry about it after a hard day at the office. She is an inside sales rep and I work as a project coordinator with a small construction firm. My husband is still working in Texas for now, but that will soon change and he will be joining me here in Alabama. I just want everyone who reads my profile knows how much I love this site. You guys are wonderful. I've always loved the Betty Crocker Cookbooks and Southern Living Cookbooks; their annual ones. Of course I love looking at any and all recipes for some reason even though I'm not a cook. I'm for anything that is quick and easy - in and out of the kitchen in record time. I especially love crockpot/slow cooker recipes. I spend most of my time reading, but I do enjoy counted cross-stitch also. I love playing around in the water (not a very good swimmer). My husband and I had Mason, an 8 year old Cocker Spaniel (who recently passed away - he will be missed very much as he was a huge part of our family), Pretty Boy, a 5 year old Cockatiel, and a recent addition to our growing menagerie, Pat, a blue conure whose vocabulary includes: "Hello", "Luv U", "What you doin", "All Right", and "Pretty Pat". We are both into collecting: He loves collecting Dragons & Wolves, and I'm into Tweety Memorabilia and Bells. My dream is to travel through Alaska one of these days. I just love hearing about that state. My Mom & Dad came to visit me when I was still living in Texas after a 4-week vacation travelling through Alaska. The picutres they took are simply breath-taking.
