Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 wonton wrappers
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon parsley flakes
Cooking Spray:
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- In a mixing vessel, thoroughly blend the cream cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley flakes until achieving a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Arrange wonton wrappers on a clean parchment surface, delicately moistening each wrapper’s perimeter using water.
- Carefully deposit a measured dollop of cream cheese mixture precisely in the center of each wrapper.
- Execute a diagonal fold, encapsulating the filling and pressing firmly to eliminate trapped air, creating a secure seal along the edges.
- Connect the opposing corners toward the center, utilizing a minimal water application to ensure adherence.
- Transfer the meticulously crafted wontons into the air fryer basket, applying an even olive oil spray coating on both surfaces.
- Position the wontons with folded points facing downward, then initiate cooking at 350˚F for approximately 4 minutes.
- Midway through cooking, reapply olive oil spray, gently flip the wontons, and continue air frying for an additional 4-6 minutes until achieving a golden, crispy exterior.
- Remove from air fryer and allow a brief cooling period before serving to prevent potential burns from hot filling.
Notes
- Prep the cream cheese filling by mixing softened cream cheese with garlic, onion powder, and parsley for a burst of savory flavor.
- Carefully seal wonton wrappers with water to prevent filling from leaking during air frying.
- Use just one teaspoon of filling to ensure easy folding and prevent overstuffing.
- Olive oil spray is crucial for achieving a crispy, golden-brown exterior and preventing sticking.
- Flip wontons halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness on all sides.
- Serve immediately after cooking for the best texture and warmth, as these wontons are best enjoyed fresh from the air fryer.
