Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 2 pounds frozen or homemade french fries
Toppings
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 16 slices of pepperoni
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Bake Fries: Arrange the frozen fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Add Sauce: Remove the fries from the oven and evenly spread the marinara sauce over the hot fries, ensuring good coverage for flavor.
- Layer Cheese and Pepperoni: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese over the fries, then arrange the pepperoni slices on top.
- Bake Again: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, and the pepperoni is slightly crisped.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, then serve immediately while hot and delicious.
Notes
- You can use homemade fries or any frozen fries variety you like.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or use spicy marinara.
- Make sure fries are baked fully before adding toppings to keep them crispy.
- Parmesan adds a nice sharp flavor, but you can omit if desired.
- Serve immediately to prevent the fries from becoming soggy.
