Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
Wonton wrappers
Olive oil spray

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, non-stick surface.
Use your finger to lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water.
Add about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese filling to the center.
Bring up each corner to form a star shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the filled wontons in a single layer inside the basket—don’t overcrowd.
Lightly spray the tops of the wontons with olive oil.
Air fry at 370°F (190°C) for 8 minutes. Check for golden color.
If needed, cook for an additional 2 minutes until crisp and golden brown.

Notes

- Serve Immediately: These Air Fryer Cream Cheese Wontons taste best when served fresh and hot. The outer layer is perfectly crispy right out of the air fryer.
- Dipping Sauces: Pair them with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, spicy mayo, or plum sauce for a delicious flavor boost.
- Party Platter Idea: Arrange them on a platter with a variety of dips for an easy appetizer spread.
- Storage: Store leftover wontons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.
- Freezing: You can freeze uncooked wontons on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook directly from frozen, adding 2–3 extra minutes to the air fryer time.
