Ingredients
  

4 cups shredded hash browns, thawed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup pizza sauce
20-24 slices pepperoni
1/4 cup hot honey
1 tsp Italian seasoning
fresh basil, for garnish, optional

Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Step 2: Toss the hash browns with olive oil and Italian seasoning, then press into an even layer on the sheet.
      Step 3: Bake for 15 minutes, until the edges begin to crisp.
        Step 4: Spread pizza sauce over the hash browns, sprinkle with mozzarella, and top with pepperoni.
          Step 5: Bake for another 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and pepperoni is crisp at the edges.
            Step 6: Drizzle with hot honey and garnish with fresh basil before serving.
              Tip: Press firmly for a crispier base.

            Notes

            Best served fresh out of the oven while the cheese is still melty. Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer, not the microwave, to keep the base crispy.
