Perfect for game day or any occasion, this easy-to-make recipe delivers a flavorful explosion of classic pizza tastes wrapped around a crispy fry base, customizable to suit your preferences.

Ingredients

Fries Base

  • Frozen French fries – 4 cups (about 1 lb), shoestring, crinkle-cut, or steak fries
  • Olive oil – 1 tablespoon

Toppings

  • Pepperoni slices – 1/2 cup
  • Mozzarella cheese, freshly shredded – 1 1/2 cups
  • Marinara sauce – 1/2 cup, warmed
  • Italian seasoning – 1 teaspoon
  • Parmesan cheese, finely grated – 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Cook the Fries: Bake or air fry the frozen fries according to the package instructions until they are golden brown and crispy, forming a sturdy base for the toppings.
  2. Prepare the Toppings: While the fries cook, shred the mozzarella cheese and slice the pepperoni if not pre-sliced. Warm up the marinara or pizza sauce so it’s ready for serving.
  3. Layer the Fries: Arrange the cooked fries on an oven-safe tray or baking sheet. Lightly drizzle with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the fries. Top with pepperoni slices.
  4. Bake until Melty: Place the loaded fries under the broiler or in a preheated hot oven for about 5 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  5. Add Final Touches: Remove from heat and sprinkle the fries with Italian seasoning and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Use quality fries that stay crispy and sturdy to prevent sogginess.
  • Ensure fries are fully cooked before adding toppings to maintain texture.
  • Keep a close watch when broiling; cheese melts quickly and can burn easily.
  • Layering pepperoni under cheese helps keep it moist and enhances melting.
  • Serve Pepperoni Pizza Fries hot and fresh for the best flavor and texture.
