These air-fried crab rangoons offer a lighter, healthier twist on a beloved classic appetizer. By utilizing the circulating heat of an air fryer, you achieve a shatteringly crisp wonton exterior without the excess grease of traditional deep frying. Filled with a creamy blend of softened cream cheese, savory imitation crab, and aromatic green onions, these bite-sized treats are perfect for parties or as a quick snack. They deliver the same satisfying crunch and rich, umami flavor you crave from takeout, all while being easier and cleaner to prepare at home.
12 wonton wrappers
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3 oz imitation crab, finely shredded
1 tbsp green onions, finely minced
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp soy sauce
Non-stick cooking spray
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded imitation crab, minced green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce until well incorporated.
Place one teaspoon of the crab mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper.
Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold the four corners toward the center and pinch tightly to seal.
Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for three minutes.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.
Arrange the crab rangoons in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Ensure the filling is well-sealed to prevent leaking during the air frying process. If you have extra wonton wrappers, keep them covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out while assembling. For extra crispiness, lightly spray the tops of the assembled rangoons with oil before cooking.
