These pre-sliced pepperoni rounds are incredibly convenient for quick meal preparation.

For pasta dishes, they can be added during the last few minutes of cooking to warm through or sautéed briefly to enhance their texture and flavor. They also make a great addition to baked sandwiches or can be arranged on a platter for snacking.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining pepperoni slices in an airtight container or the original packaging, tightly sealed, in the refrigerator. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from drying out or absorbing other odors.
