Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Prepare a mini muffin tin by *lightly* greasing or adding muffin tins. If you are using a silicone muffin tin like I did you can skip this step.
Take three pepperonis and allow them to overlap slightly and gently press into the muffin tin. The base of the muffin tin should be completely covered to create a “cup” shape.
Place one teaspoon of pizza sauce in each tin, top with basil, if using, and mozzarella.
Bake for 10-13 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your pepperonis.
Allow the pepperonis to sit AT LEAST 5 minutes before removing from the tin. REMOVING THEM IMMEDIATELY WILL PREVENT THEM FROM KEEPING THEIR SHAPE.
- Use turkey pepperoni for less grease
