Delicious and easy to make nachos loaded with cheese, pepperoni, and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven – Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Baking Sheet – Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Layer the Chips – Spread a generous layer of tortilla chips on the baking sheet.
- Add the Sauce – Drizzle pizza sauce evenly over the chips.
- Add Cheese and Pepperoni – Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chips and sauce. Place pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, distributing them evenly.
- Season and Top – Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Add a pinch of Italian seasoning for extra flavor. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes.
- Bake – Place the nachos in the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish – Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Serve – Serve immediately while hot and gooey.
Notes
- For a crispier texture, broil the nachos for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Experiment with additional toppings such as sliced olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers to customize your nachos.
- To make the nachos extra cheesy, layer some cheese directly on the chips before adding the sauce and more cheese on top.
