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

Method
 

  1. 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.)
  2. Once the wonton slices are nutty brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer.
  3. Season immediately with a sprinkle of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder while still warm.
  4. 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.
