- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning: A blend of herbs that lifts the flavor profile and adds complexity.

How to Make Irresistible Pepperoni Pizza Triangles in Just 10 Minutes Recipe
Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet
Start by setting your oven to 350°F. While it heats up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep your triangles from sticking and make cleanup a breeze. This simple preparation sets you up for perfectly crispy results every time.
Step 2: Mix the Flavorful Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the pizza sauce, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to marry these vibrant flavors. This sauce mixture is the zesty heart of your triangles that gives each bite a burst of familiar pizza goodness.
Step 3: Assemble the Triangles
Lay out the wonton wrappers on your prepared baking sheet. Spread a small amount of the sauce mixture onto half of each wrapper – just enough to add flavor without making the wrap soggy. Add a slice or two of pepperoni and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella before you moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with water to help seal them tight.
Step 4: Fold and Seal into Triangles
Carefully fold each wonton wrapper over the filling to create a triangle shape. Press down on the edges to seal it closed. Sealing well ensures your cheesy, saucy filling stays inside while baking, giving you that satisfying crispy exterior with a melty surprise inside.
Step 5: Bake and Cool
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the wontons are beautifully golden and crispy. Once baked, let the triangles cool briefly so the cheese sets just enough for easy handling without sacrificing any gooey goodness.
How to Serve Irresistible Pepperoni Pizza Triangles in Just 10 Minutes Recipe
Garnishes
Sprinkle some fresh chopped basil or a touch of grated Parmesan for a fresh, flavorful lift that elevates these bites from simple snacks to something truly special. A little red pepper flake on the side can add a playful kick, too!
Side Dishes
Pair your pepperoni pizza triangles with a crisp Caesar salad or crunchy carrot sticks for a light counterbalance. They’re also fantastic alongside a bowl of marinara sauce for dipping, doubling down on that delicious pizza vibe.
Creative Ways to Present
Arrange the triangles on a wooden board or colorful platter for a rustic, inviting look. For a fun twist, serve them with an array of dipping sauces like ranch, spicy buffalo, or garlic aioli—your friends and family will enjoy mixing and matching!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
These pizza triangles store wonderfully in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep them crisp by reheating in the oven rather than the microwave to maintain their delightful texture.
Freezing
If you want to keep these snacks on hand longer, freeze them on a baking sheet first so they don’t stick together, then transfer them to a resealable plastic bag. They’ll keep perfectly frozen for up to 2 months.
Reheating
To reheat, pop the frozen or chilled triangles back into a 350°F oven for about 5-7 minutes or until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving if you want to preserve their crisp edges and melty interior.
FAQs
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! While mozzarella is classic for its melty texture, feel free to mix in some cheddar or provolone for a unique flavor twist. Just keep the cheese quantity similar to maintain the perfect gooey filling.
Are wonton wrappers the best choice for this recipe?
Wonton wrappers provide a thin, crispy crust that bakes quickly, making them ideal for this speedy recipe. You could use puff pastry or biscuit dough, but it will change the texture and baking time.
Can I add vegetables to my triangles?
Definitely! Finely chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach would be flavorful additions. Just make sure to drain any excess moisture from veggies before adding to avoid soggy triangles.
Is this recipe kid-friendly?
Yes, it’s a fantastic recipe for kids! The bite-sized triangles are perfect for little hands, and they’re loaded with familiar flavors that most kids adore.
Can I prepare these triangles ahead of time and bake later?
You sure can. Assemble the triangles, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. This makes them perfect for meal prepping or entertaining.
