Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the frozen French fries evenly on the baking sheet, drizzle with vegetable oil, and sprinkle with salt and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping them halfway through cooking.
While the fries are baking, prepare your toppings by dicing the bell peppers and slicing the black olives. Set them aside.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F).
Transfer the baked fries onto an oven-safe serving dish or keep them on the baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the fries.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the fries, making sure they are well-covered.
Top the cheese with pepperoni slices, diced bell peppers, black olives, and a sprinkle of dried oregano.
Return the loaded fries to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil, if desired. Serve immediately while hot and gooey.
