Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons finely sliced green onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 24-30 wonton wrappers
  • 1/2 cup water (for sealing)
  • cooking oil spray or oil
  • sweet chili sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, finely sliced green onions, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
  • Remove the wonton wrappers from their package. To prevent them from drying out, keep them covered with a damp cloth or paper towel while you work.
  • Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water (using your finger or a small brush) for sealing. Use your preferred folding method (triangle, purse, or rectangle) to seal the wonton securely, ensuring no filling leaks out.
  • For air frying: Lightly spray the filled wontons with cooking oil spray. Arrange them in a single layer in your air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • For deep frying: Heat about 2-3 inches of cooking oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add a few wontons at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Serve the crispy cream cheese wontons immediately with sweet chili sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
