    Meanwhile, line microwavable plate with microwavable paper towels. Spread diced pepperoni on plate; cover loosely with microwavable paper towel. Microwave on High 2 minutes to remove excess fat.

  • If the outer casing on the pepperoni is tough, remove it from the pepperoni before dicing and microwaving.
