Air Fryer Crab Rangoon

Amazing air-fried crab Rangoon. The air fryer makes cream cheese and crab wontons crispy, delicious, and easy to cook at home.

Because my family likes Chinese food, my husband would stop at the Chinese restaurant virtually every night on his way home from work when we met. My kids and I love him. I enjoy ordering Chinese takeaway Crab Rangoon’s.

What Are Wontons?

  • Wontons are Chinese dumplings. These paper-thin dough sheets can hold practically anything. Vegan and non-vegan choices are available.
  • Finding the wonton wrappers, which must be refrigerated, is the most common question about this recipe. They are usually available in the produce area near tofu and egg roll wrappers.
  • Square is the most prevalent shape. Since most of you can find them at your local grocery shop, I use them today. Circle wraps are common throughout Asia.

Professional Air-Fried Crab Rangoon Tips

  • Don’t overfill wontons. Do not overfill the wontons—you want to seal them. Use 1 or 2 tablespoons, depending on wonton size.
  • Spray them with olive oil to crisp up. To make them golden, sprinkle them with olive oil.
  • Be sure to seal. To seal them, I rubbed water on them using a pastry brush. You can also egg wash.
  • Avoid crowding the basket. Crab Rangoon’s crisp better with space around them. Otherwise, touching them will cause raw places.

Air Fryer Crab Rangoon add-ons.

  • I kept this recipe simple by using few ingredients. Many of my readers advise Worcestershire sauce, minced scallions, and soy sauce. Try different flavors to discover one you like.
  • Leaving off the crab meat makes a fantastic vegan cream cheese wonton.

Why the air fryer is great for wontons

  • One of the easiest appetizer recipes ever. This appetizer is simple (despite appearances).

Ingredients

  1. 8-ounce room-temperature cream cheese
  2. 8-ounce lump crab
  3. 1/4 cup olive oil
  4. Wonton on egg roll wrappers
  5. 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  • Make crab filling first. Mix cream cheese and crab meat in a small bowl.
  • Centre the wonton wrapper with a tablespoon of filling.
  • I chopped egg roll wrappers into four pieces because I couldn’t find wonton wrappers.
  • Fold up: Brush water around all edges, pinch two sides, then the other two, to produce a pocket.
  • Set in the air fryer tray or basket, brush the outside with olive oil (outside only), and cook at 330 degrees F for 7–10 minutes.
  • Plate, serve, enjoy!
