Ingredients

  • 8 ounces vegan cream cheese
  • 3 tablespoons green onions, (about 3 stalks), thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 20 wonton wrappers
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • To a small mixing bowl, add the green onions, vegan cream cheese, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Stir everything together.
  • Add a thin layer of oil to a small pan and set the heat to medium-high to reach a temperature of about 350°F (180°C).
  • Place half a tablespoon of cream cheese filling in the middle of each wonton wrapper. Dampen the edges of the wrapper with water. Form a triangle as you seal them, pushing as much air out as you can.
  • Carefully place a few wontons at a time in the hot oil. Start with the ones that were prepared first. Cook them on each side for about 30 seconds or until they're golden brown. Push the corners down into the oil to brown them if needed.
  • Once they’ve cooked on both sides, place the wontons on several paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
  • After the wontons have cooled down for a few minutes, garnish them with green onions and serve them with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

I like to dip these wontons in this Sweet Chili Sauce.
Tips
-The hot oil should be around 350°F (180°C) for crispy, golden wontons. If it's too low, they will absorb to much oil before cooking. If the temperature is too high, they will burn and possibly burst.
-Push out the excess air as you are sealing them.
-Work quickly because the wrappers can dry out and crack if not. If this does happen, use a little spray bottle to rehydrate them or seal them in a bag and pop them back in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Air Fryer Instructions
After sealing the cream cheese wontons, place them in a single layer in the air fryer. You can spray them with cooking oil to make them crispier, but that's optional. Cook them for 2 1/2 minutes on each side at 400°F. They should be golden brown when done.
Oven Instructions
Prepare and seal all of the wontons. Place them on a baking sheet and mist a thin layer of cooking oil on both sides. If you don’t have any cooking spray, you can brush a small amount on with a pastry brush. Then, simply pop them into the oven and bake them for 15 minutes at 350°F. Flip them over halfway through.
