1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
24 wonton wrappers
1/2 pound bulk Italian sausages
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup mini pepperoni
1/4 cup sliced black or green olives, drained
1/4 cup thinly sliced green pepper or sweet red pepper
3/4 cup alfredo sauce
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup sliced pepperoncini
Chopped fresh basil, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes and grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
marinara sauce, warmed, for dipping
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Divide 2 tablespoons of olive oil between two baking sheets, brushing it evenly over the surface. Cut the wonton wrappers in half diagonally; arrange on the baking sheets in a single layer. Brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Bake 6-8 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove promptly; set aside.
Meanwhile, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add Italian sausage; cook 6-8 minutes or until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
To assemble the nachos, transfer the wonton chips to a single sheet pan; sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Top with cooked Italian sausage, pepperoni, olives and peppers. Bake 5-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and pepperoni is lightly toasted. Meanwhile, place the Alfredo sauce in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high about 1 minute or until hot.
Drizzle Alfredo sauce over the nachos; top with tomatoes and pepperoncinis. Top with desired garnishes; serve with warm marinara for dipping.
