Air Fryer Wonton Chips - Crispy, Fast, and Perfect for Dipping

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Total Time 18 minutes
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

  • Wonton wrappers: Square, thin wrappers found in the refrigerated section near tofu or produce. Choose plain, not flavored.
  • Oil: Neutral oil with a high smoke point (avocado, canola, or grapeseed). You’ll use a light brush or spray.
  • Salt: Fine sea salt or kosher salt for even coverage.
  • Optional seasonings: Garlic powder or onion powder
  • Smoked paprika or chili powder
  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Cinnamon sugar for a sweet version
  • Sesame seeds (toast in the air fryer if desired)
  • Lemon pepper or ranch seasoning
  • Optional dips and toppers: Guacamole, salsa, hummus, crab rangoon dip, spinach artichoke dip, spicy mayo, or sweet chili sauce.

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer. Set to 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes. A preheated basket helps the chips crisp quickly and evenly.
  • Prep the wrappers. Stack 5–6 wonton wrappers and slice diagonally into triangles, or cut into strips for salad toppers. Repeat with the rest.
  • Lightly oil. Brush each triangle with a thin layer of oil or use a light spray. You need just enough for the seasoning to cling.
  • Season. Sprinkle both sides with salt. Add any other spices you like. For sweet versions, use sugar and cinnamon after lightly oiling.
  • Arrange in the basket. Place in a single layer with minimal overlap. A little touch is fine, but crowding will soften the chips.
  • Air fry. Cook for 3–5 minutes, shaking or flipping once halfway. Watch closely after minute 3—these brown fast.
  • Cool to crisp. Transfer to a cooling rack or paper towel-lined sheet. They’ll firm up more as they cool.
  • Repeat. Continue with remaining batches. If adding delicate toppings like sesame seeds, press them on before cooking so they adhere.
  • Taste and adjust. While warm, add a final pinch of salt or an extra sprinkle of seasoning if needed.
