Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 Cut the potatoes (skins on) into thin chips

OvenPreheat

Step 2

Add the chips to a large baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up

Step 3

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 25-30 min or until the chips are golden and starting to crisp

Step 4

Add the sweetcorn cobettes to a large piece of tin foil and top with a knob of butter

Step 5

Scrunch the foil around the corn until tightly sealed and add to another baking tray

Step 6

Put the tray in the oven for 20-25 min or until the corn is tender

Step 7

Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic

Step 8

Add the tomato paste to a bowl with half of the chopped garlic (save the rest for later!) and a generous pinch of salt, pepper and sugar

Step 9

Add 3 tbsp [6 tbsp] cold water and give everything a good mix up – this is your tomato sauce

Step 10

Drain the mozzarella, then pat and squeeze as much liquid out as you can with kitchen paper

Step 11

Tear the drained mozzarella into rough, bite-sized pieces

Step 12

Grate the cheddar cheese

Step 13

Add the mayo to a small bowl with the remaining chopped garlic, half of the dried oregano (you'll use the rest later!), a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] cold water – this is your garlic & herb dip

Step 14

Once the chips are golden, push them into 2 [4] piles on the baking tray[s]

Step 15

Drizzle over the tomato sauce, then top with the remaining dried oregano, torn mozzarella, grated cheese and pepperoni slices

Step 16

Return the tray[s] to the oven for 6-8 min or until the cheese has melted and the pepperoni is crispy

Step 17

Once done, set aside for a few min to cool slightly – these are your cheesy pepperoni pizza loaded fries

Step 18

Meanwhile, wash and tear the gem lettuce into rough pieces

Step 19

Once the corn is tender, stand them upright and slice the corn from the cobs using a sharp knife (be very careful!), then discard the cobs

Step 20

Add the torn lettuce and sliced corn to a large bowl and toss it all together – this is your corn salad

Step 21

Tear the basil leaves over the cheesy pepperoni pizza loaded fries and serve the corn salad to the side

Step 22

If you find the vegetarian pepperoni doesn't quite get as crispy as the meaty stuff, try drizzling some oil and salt on top. Alternatively, dip in honey for a sweet flavour that will crisp up in the oven!
