Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve perfectly crispy fries.
  2. Spread the frozen French fries evenly on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake according to package instructions, about 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  3. While the fries are baking, prepare the pizza sauce by combining the pizza sauce, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
  4. Once the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and drizzle the prepared pizza sauce over the fries. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
  5. Scatter the sliced red bell pepper and pepperoni over the cheese to bring your Pizza Fries to life!
  6. Return the loaded fries to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  7. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper flakes (if desired), and fresh parsley over the top. Serve immediately while hot and gooey!
