Air Fryer Cream Cheese Wontons
Air Fryer Cream Cheese Wontons are crispy, golden bites filled with a smooth and savory cream cheese mixture. Made with minimal oil and cooked in the air fryer, they’re a lighter, less messy alternative to deep-fried wontons. Perfect for appetizers, snacks, or party platters, they deliver restaurant-style flavor at home.

Ingredients
- 20 wonton wrappers
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
- Cooking spray or oil (for brushing)

- Dipping sauce: sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or sweet and sour sauce
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
- Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface and place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each.
- Moisten wrapper edges with water. Fold into a triangle, pouch, or envelope shape, pressing edges to seal tightly.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly spray or brush the wontons with oil.
- Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if needed).
- Air fry 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
- Let cool slightly before serving with dipping sauce.
Notes
- Do not overfill wontons—this can cause them to burst open while cooking.
- Seal edges well with water to ensure they stay closed.
- Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
