  1. 01Lay slices flat in the basket in a single layer. No overlapping.
  2. 02No oil, no seasoning.
  3. 03Ready for the air fryer.
  4. 04Transfer to a paper towel to absorb excess grease.
The air fryer's fan can blow thin pepperoni slices around like confetti. If you have an air fryer rack or trivet, place it on top of the slices to weigh them down. If not, larger diameter slices are heavier and stay put better than the small snack-sized ones.
