PIZZA DISCO FRIES
Steps:
- Cook the waffle fries according to the package instructions.
- Preheat the oven to broil. Put the pizza sauce in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until hot.
- Put the hot fries on a large heatproof plate or platter. Top with the pizza sauce, half of the pepperoni, the cheese and the remaining pepperoni. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3 minutes. Top with the banana peppers.
DISCO FRIES
Steps:
- For the gravy: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook the flour until dark brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the stock and cook, whisking, until the mixture is smooth and thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the sherry, Worcestershire, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper, adjusting the seasoning to taste. Remove from the heat and cover by pressing a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the gravy, taking care to cover it completely to prevent a skin from forming. Set aside.
- For the fries: Bake the French fries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- For the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook until the mixture resembles sand, about 3 minutes. Add the milk and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to boil and thicken, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the Cheddar and Gruyere and continue to cook, stirring, until the cheese is fully melted, another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the Worcestershire, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste and remove from the heat. Cover in the same fashion as the gravy and set aside until the French fries are ready.
- When the French fries are ready, transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle the fries with the warm gravy and then with the warm cheese sauce. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (or the temperature indicated on the package of french fries). Spray a large rimmed baking pan with cooking spray.
- Spread the fries in the pan in a single layer and spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake according to the package directions or until very crispy.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Slowly add the broth while whisking constantly and occasionally stirring with a rubber spatula, making sure to get into the edges of the pan, until all of the broth has been incorporated. Add the cream and increase the heat to medium-high to bring to a rapid simmer. Simmer, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer half of the fries to a small rimmed baking pan or oven-safe platter. Top with half of the cheese, then add the remaining fries and the rest of the cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Drizzle the fries with some of the gravy. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini: Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have blemishes, as they may be bitter or have a tough texture.
- Cut the zucchini into even-sized fries: This will help them cook evenly. If the fries are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not be crispy on the outside.
- Coat the zucchini fries in cornstarch: This will help them crisp up in the oven. You can also use flour or bread crumbs, but cornstarch will give you the best results.
- Season the zucchini fries generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Bake the zucchini fries at a high temperature: This will help them crisp up quickly. Bake the fries at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the zucchini fries immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, ketchup, or honey mustard.
