Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Frozen fries – amount as desired (typically 1 lb or 450g)
  • Pepperoni slices – about 20-30 slices
  • Mozzarella cheese, shredded – 1 to 1 ½ cups (about 4-6 oz)
  • Marinara sauce – ½ to ¾ cup
  • Italian seasoning – 1 tsp
  • Fresh parsley (optional) – 1-2 tbsp chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fries: Begin by cooking your frozen fries according to the package instructions until they are crispy and golden brown. This creates the crunchy base essential for Pepperoni Pizza Fries.
  2. Add Marinara Sauce: Spoon a generous layer of marinara sauce over the hot fries, spreading it evenly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
  3. Layer the Pepperoni: Place pepperoni slices evenly across the sauced fries to guarantee every mouthful gets a delightful pepperoni punch.
  4. Sprinkle the Cheese and Seasonings: Cover the fries and pepperoni with shredded mozzarella, then sprinkle Italian seasoning on top for that unmistakable pizza flavor.
  5. Bake Until Bubbly: Transfer the tray to a preheated oven set at 400°F (200°C) and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly with golden spots.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately for maximum gooey, crispy, and flavorful enjoyment.

Notes

  • Choose the right fries: Thicker-cut fries hold toppings better without getting soggy quickly.
  • Don’t overload sauce: Use just enough marinara to add moisture and flavor without making the fries soggy.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese: It melts better and creates a creamier texture than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Watch the oven closely: Cheese can go from perfectly melted to burnt quickly, so keep an eye during baking.
  • Add fresh herbs last: Adding parsley or oregano after baking keeps their flavor bright and fresh.
