Air Fryer Wontons
Air Fryer Wontons are crisp wonton pouches filled with a smooth cream cheese filling. They are way healthier than fried wontons and cook in just three minutes!
prep time: cook time: total time: 13 MIN
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons green onion, sliced
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
15 wonton wrappers
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, green onions, hot sauce, and garlic powder.
2. Spoon around 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of a wonton wrapper.
3. Dip your finger into a small bowl of water and moisten two of the wonton edges. Fold the wonton over the cream cheese mixture and press the edges to seal. Fold the two points together and use a little more water to seal them together. Repeat for the remaining wontons.
4. Spray your air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Arrange the wontons in a single layer in the basket. Lightly spray the wontons with olive oil spray.
5. Air fry the wontons at 375 degrees F for 3-4 minutes until the wontons are golden around the edges and begin to have golden bubbles on the surface.
6. Remove from the air fryer and serve with your favorite Asian-style dipping sauce.
NOTES
It is important to make sure the wontons seal when the edges are pressed together. If not, the cream cheese is more likely to ooze out while cooking.
I DO NOT recommend using softened cream cheese. Softened cream cheese will be more likely to seep out of the wontons while cooking.
