- Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients
- 8 oz softened cream cheese (full-fat recommended)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- Wonton wrappers (fresh, not frozen)
- 1 beaten egg (for sealing)
- Cooking spray or oil (for coating)
- Sweet chili sauce (store-bought or homemade, for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped green onion, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
- Lightly brush the edges of the wrappers with beaten egg. Fold over to form a triangle or purse shape and press edges firmly to seal, pressing out excess air.
- Arrange sealed wontons on the prepared baking sheet with space between each.
- Lightly spray or brush wontons with oil or cooking spray.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack for a few minutes to maintain crispiness.
- Serve warm with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing. Keep wonton wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying. Turn wontons halfway through baking for even crispiness. Lightly spraying with oil helps achieve a golden, crispy texture. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent soggy wontons. For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese with plant-based alternatives. For gluten-free, use gluten-free wonton wrappers or rice paper sheets.
