Baked instead of fried, wonton chips are the answer when a snack attack hits!
Crispy Wonton Chips
- These Wonton chips make a quick, crunchy, and cheesy snack.
- Using just three ingredients this recipe is so simple, even the kids can help out. Season them any way you like.
- Versatile Wonton crisp can be crunched up, and sprinkled over soups and stews, used as a crunchy topping for cheesy scalloped potatoes, or just eaten by the handful with your favorite dip!
- More economical than buying tortilla chips, and made without any artificial dyes, flavorings, or preservatives, wonton crisps can be a delicious alternative to chips.
Easy Ingredients and Extras
- Wonton Wrappers: Wonton wrappers can be found in the produce section or the Asian aisle of the grocery store. Can’t find ‘em? Use egg roll wrappers, spring roll wrappers, or dumpling wrappers, simply cut to the right size (roughly 4”x4”). Be aware that these alternatives might not produce the crispiest result, but they’ll still be delicious.
- Seasonings: Use salted butter or try different flavors with herb-infused olive oil. For even fewer calories, use a whisked egg white instead of butter which will help the seasonings adhere. Match the dip or dressing, and dial up the seasonings. Taco seasoned wonton chips with salsa make a great appetizer.
- Variations: Make a sweet wonton chip by brushing wontons in butter, then topping with cinnamon sugar. Simply place a ½ cup of granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons of cinnamon in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake.
How to Make Wonton Chips
- Cut wonton wrappers diagonally and place in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Brush with melted butter and sprinkle on Parmesan cheese. (Full recipe below.)
- Bake until crispy and golden brown.
In the Air Fryer
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F.
- Prepare wrappers with butter and cheese.
- Air fry in a single layer 3-4 minutes, shaking the basket after two minutes.
Ways to Serve
Homemade wonton chips go with anything a regular chip would. They’re great for dipping in a tangy tzatziki, or a creamy ranch dressing. They also make excellent crunchy toppings for soups and salads, or they can be used in a breadcrumb topping over jalapeno poppers or melt-in-your-mouth chicken. Make a batch or two for scoopables like tuna salad, a cheesy queso dip or a tasty bruschetta.
Keeping Them Crispy
Keep leftover wonton crisps in a zippered bag or Stasher bag, at room temperature for up to 10 days, as they won’t hold up well in the fridge or freezer. Re-crisp them with a fresh sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and pop them under the broiler or the air fryer.
