When preparing to air-fry your wonton chips, the arrangement in the air fryer basket is crucial for achieving that perfect crunch. To ensure even cooking, lay the wonton wrappers in a single layer without overlapping. This allows hot air to circulate freely around each chip, promoting uniform crispiness. If you have a larger batch, consider cooking in multiple smaller batches instead of overcrowding the basket, which can lead to soggy chips.

Ingredients
  

20 wonton wrappers

2 tablespoons olive oil (or use cooking spray for a lighter option)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to your preference)

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for a hint of smokiness)

Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional, but recommended)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for approximately 3-5 minutes. This ensures the wonton chips cook evenly and achieve that perfect crunch.

    Prepare the Wonton Wrappers: Carefully take each wonton wrapper and cut them into triangles by slicing them diagonally in half. Feel free to get creative—cut them into squares or fun shapes if you like!

      Season the Wontons: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the cut wonton triangles to the bowl and toss them gently until they are thoroughly coated in the seasoning mixture. If opting for cooking spray, instead lightly spray both sides of the wontons for even coverage.

        Arrange in Air Fryer: Lay the seasoned wonton triangles in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be sure not to overlap them; spacing them apart will ensure they cook to a perfect crispness.

          Air Fry the Wontons: Cook the wonton chips in the air fryer for about 5-7 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes, as they can quickly go from golden to burnt.

            Cool and Garnish: Once your wonton chips are golden brown and crispy, carefully remove them from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a few moments. For an added flavor boost, sprinkle with fresh herbs.

              Serve and Enjoy: Indulge in your crispy wonton chips either as a delightful snack on their own or pair them with your favorite dips, such as salsa, guacamole, or a sweet and spicy sauce for a delicious treat!
