Preparation

- Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture in the center.
- Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water.
- Fold the wrapper over to create a triangle shape and press the edges firmly to seal. Optionally, fold the two outer corners of the triangle to the center to create a classic crab rangoon shape.
- Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Cooking
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the crab rangoon in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch each other.
- Spray the tops of the crab rangoon with cooking spray.
- Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Remove from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
