Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons chopped scallions
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Wontons

  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 large egg (beaten, for sealing)
  • Cooking spray (for air fryer basket and wontons)

Optional

  • Sweet chili sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the cream cheese, chopped scallions, low sodium soy sauce, and garlic powder until well combined and smooth.
  2. Beat the egg: In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg to use for sealing the wontons effectively.
  3. Assemble the wontons: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper by lightly dipping your finger into the beaten egg and running it along the edges.
  4. Seal the wontons: Fold the four corners of each wrapper up to meet in the center, pressing firmly along the seams to seal. Alternatively, to keep it simple, fold one corner diagonally toward the opposite corner to create triangular wontons.
  5. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 360°F and allow it to preheat fully before cooking the wontons.
  6. Prepare the air fryer basket: Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the wontons in a single layer without overlapping or touching.
  7. Cook the wontons: Spray the tops of the wontons with cooking spray for a crisp exterior. Air fry them for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve: Remove the wontons carefully from the basket and serve warm. Optionally, accompany them with sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can customize the shape of your wontons to be traditional purses or simple triangles depending on your preference.
  • Ensure the wontons are arranged in a single layer and do not touch to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Use cooking spray generously to get a golden and crispy texture without deep frying.
  • Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother filling.
