Crispy Air Fryer Wonton Strips for Salads
Wonton strips: cook these crispy, golden air-fried delights in minutes. Perfect for adding an amazing crunch to salads and bowls.
Ingredients
- 8 wonton wrappers (cut into long, thin slices)
- Spritz of oil spray (for air frying, avocado oil spray recommended)
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- garlic powder to taste
- onion powder to taste
- sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Place thinly sliced wonton wrappers into the air fryer basket and spray with avocado oil. Air fry at 360 degrees F for 4 to 4 1/2 minutes, stopping once to shake the basket and spray with more oil for even browning. (Start checking doneness around the 3-minute mark as air fryers vary, and wrappers can brown quickly.)
- Once the wonton slices are nutty brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer.
- Season immediately with a sprinkle of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder while still warm.
- For extra flavor and visual appeal, sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving as a crunchy topping.
Notes
- Don't overcrowd your air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even crisping. This is crucial for achieving that perfect golden-brown color. I once tried to cram too many in, and they ended up steaming instead of crisping.
- For extra flavor, you can brush the wonton strips with a little soy sauce or a mix of garlic powder and onion powder before air frying.
- Store any leftover crispy wonton strips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their crunch. Reheat for 1-2 minutes in the air fryer if they lose their crispness.
