I think you know where I’m going here…air fryer to the rescue!
What Is a Wonton?
Wontons are a pop in of Chinese dumpling made with a thin wonton wrapper and a filling.
Nick Evans
The wrappers come in two main shapes: circles or squares.
Since wonton wrappers have to be refrigerated, check the deli section or the prepared veggie area first.
I prefer the square wonton wrappers for this recipe, since they’re bigger and easier to crimp closed.

Classic Crab Rangoon also adds a dash of Worcestershire sauce, but I prefer them without.
If you love Worcestershire, add a few dashes to taste before assembling the wontons.
Youll just get fewer wontons out of the recipe because of the decreased volume of filling.

The wontons get very crispy on top and even a bit crispy on the bottom.
The air fryer makes cleanup super easy, too.
Shape the wontons, fry them, eat them, done!

Just remember to spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray to avoid any sticking issues.
Don’t have an air fryer?you’re able to still make these wontons!
Just use a deep fryer or a sturdy deep pot.

It’s as easy as a dipping sauce gets but has serious flavor!
Mix well so the filling is a single consistency, and the crab is evenly distributed.
Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray.

Place as many wontons as possible, without touching, into the air fryer basket.
You should be able to fit 7 to 8 wontons.
Air fry the wontons at 350F for 6 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.

Let the wontons cool briefly, then serve with the dipping sauce.
