Ingredients

  • 6 ounces (170g) cream cheese softened
  • 4 ounces (113) lump crab meat or imitation crab
  • 1 green onion sliced thinly
  • teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or other light neutral oil
  • sweet chili sauce for dipping

Instructions

  • Bring the cream cheese to room temperature. Combine it with the crab meat, green onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and lime juice in a small bowl.
  • Use a pastry brush to coat one side of a wonton wrapper with a thin layer of olive oil and place it on your work surface, oil side down.
  • In the center of the wonton wrapper, place a tablespoon of the cream cheese and crab filling.
  • Brush the edges of the wonton with water. Connect the two opposite corners of the wonton, pressing to seal. Then, pull the remaining two corners up to form a square. Steal the edges together by pressing lightly, so the filling doesn’t ooze out when cooked.
  • Place the prepared crab rangoons in the air fryer, leaving plenty of space. Cook at 375 degrees F / 190 degrees C for 8-10 minutes or until the wontons are crisp and golden brown.

Notes

  • Find wonton wrappers in the produce section of your grocery store. 
  • Quickly soften cream cheese in 5-second increments on a microwave plate if you forget to take it out of the fridge. 
  • Don’t overfill these wontons, or the filling will ooze out during cooking. 
  • When sealing wontons, press out the excess air. 
  • Begin frying while you finish preparing the rest of the crab rangoon. 
  • Leave space between the crab rangoons in the air fryer basket so the air can circulate. 
  • Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Spitz with oil again halfway through cooking for maximum crispiness. 
  • Serve warm with sweet chili sauce.
  • Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • There are 2 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
