1/2 cup banana peppers
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup Alfredo sauce
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil or parsley
Oil for frying
Instructions
1. Cut wonton wrappers into triangles and fry them in hot oil until golden and crispy, then drain on paper towels.
2. Cook the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles.
3. Arrange a layer of crispy wonton chips on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish.
4. Top with sausage, mozzarella, olives, banana peppers, and tomatoes, repeating layers if desired.
5. Broil for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes
Make sure not to overcrowd the pan when frying wontons so they stay crispy.
You can swap Alfredo sauce with marinara if you prefer a tangier flavor.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
