Ingredients
1package of SUPERPRETZEL Mozzarella Soft Bites
1package of SUPERPRETZEL PepperJack Soft Bites
1 14ozcan of fire roasted diced tomatoes
1teaspoonof garlic powder
1tablespoonof olive oil
½teaspoonof dried oregano
¼teaspoonof black pepper
1pinchof crushed red pepper
½teaspoonof salt
2-3fresh basil leaves
1cupof shredded mozzarella
¼cupof pepperoni slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven at 350 degrees. Place the frozen SUPERPRETZEL bites onto a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes.
While the pretzel bites are baking, place the diced tomatoes, garlic powder, olive oil, oregano, pepper, salt, and basil leaves in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir the sauce occasionally and allow to simmer while pretzel bites bake. I personally don’t like chunky marinara sauce, so I put the sauce in a food processor until smooth. If you don’t mind a chunky sauce you can omit that step.
Once the pretzels are done baking, remove from the oven and turn off the heat on the sauce pan. While still hot, carefully arrange the pretzel bites into a cast iron skillet or small casserole dish.
Once you’ve arranged the pretzel bites, pour the homemade marinara sauce over the pretzel bites. Be sure to reserve about ½ cup of sauce for additional dipping later on.
Place your shredded mozzarella over the marinara and finally add your pepperoni. Place the cast iron skillet into the oven for another 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy these pizza pretzel nachos!
Notes
You cal always use 1.5 cups of your favorite store bought marinara instead of making your own
