Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a flavorful oil mixture.
Add the frozen pierogies into the bowl and toss them thoroughly to coat each piece with the seasoned oil.
Spread the coated pierogies evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overlapping.
Roast the pierogies in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip them over using tongs or a spatula.
Continue roasting for another 10 minutes, or until the pierogies are golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
Remove the pierogies from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over them while they are still warm.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your Italian Style Roasted Pierogies as a delicious appetizer or main dish!
