Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

12-15 frozen wontons vegetable, pork, shrimp, or chicken
Oil spray optional, for extra crispiness
Dipping sauces e.g., soy sauce, sweet chili, hoisin, or garlic soy sauce

Equipment

Air fryer
Tongs or a spatula
A small bowl (for oil spray, optional)
Cooking brush (optional for oil spraying)

Method

Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes.
Arrange the Wontons: Place the frozen wontons in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure there’s some space between each wonton to allow the hot air to circulate properly.
Spray with Oil (Optional): Lightly spray the wontons with cooking oil for an extra crispy finish. This step is optional but will enhance the crunch.
Air Fry the Wontons: Air fry the wontons for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.
Check and Adjust: After 10-12 minutes, check for crispness. If you prefer them extra crispy, add an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve: Let the wontons cool for a minute or two before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces!

Notes

Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: Ensure there’s enough space for the hot air to circulate. Overcrowding will lead to uneven cooking.
Adjust Temperature for Crispiness: If you prefer softer wontons, lower the temperature to 350°F and cook for a slightly longer time.
Reheating Leftovers: To reheat leftovers, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to restore the crispy texture.
Flavors: Feel free to experiment with different dipping sauces like soy sauce, sweet chili, or a garlic-based sauce to complement the flavor of the wontons.
