Servings
About 2 cups
Ingredients
  • 10 wrappers Wonton Wrappers
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil or Cooking Spray
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds

Preparation

Stack the wonton wrappers and use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.

Coating

In a bowl, toss the wonton strips with the olive oil (or spray lightly with cooking spray) and salt. Make sure they are lightly and evenly coated.

Air Frying

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the wonton strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches. Air fry for 4-6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Seasoning (Optional)

Immediately after removing the wonton strips from the air fryer, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Let cool completely before adding to your salad or storing.

Storage

Store the cooled wonton strips in an airtight container at room temperature. They will maintain their crispness for several days.
