How to Prepare Homemade Wonton Chips

Let’s take a look at the ingredients and steps you’ll need to make the Wonton Chips.

Ingredients 

• 20 Wonton wrappers (you can also try with ten egg roll wrappers)
• Cooking spray or olive oil
• Salt and your choice of seasoning 

Preparing Instructions

Follow this step-by-step guide on how to make baked Wonton Chips:

Step 1: Prepare Your Wonton Wrappers 

The first step is to lay out your wonton wrappers on a clean surface. If they’re not already separated, carefully peel them apart. 

Next, cut the wonton wrappers into your desired chip size using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter. You can try to cut them into standard triangles or squares, but feel free to experiment with different shapes. 

Step 2: Preheat the Oven 

Once you’ve cut your wonton or egg roll wrappers, preheat your oven to 375°F.

While the oven heats up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will make cleanup easier. 

Step 3: Bake the Wonton Chips 

Lightly coat both sides of your wonton chips with cooking spray or brush them with olive oil. This will make them extra crispy. 

Then, arrange the coated wrappers on the prepared baking sheet. However, make sure they’re arranged in a single layer and they’re not overlapping. 

Season your wonton wrappers with salt or your preferred seasoning. If you have no idea, you can try seasoning them with hot paprika, garlic powder, sesame seeds, or sea salt. 

Put the baking sheet in the oven, close the oven door, and wait for around 5-7 minutes. You’ll know that they’re ready once they catch the golden-brown color. 

Step 4: Let Them Cool

Once your wonton wrappers are baked to perfection, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let them cool completely.

Transfer the wonton chips into a serving bowl and start preparing the dipping sauce. However, if you want your chips to be still warm, transfer them into an airtight container and wait until you make the dipping sauce.

How to Make Dipping Sauce

No Wonton Chips is complete without a tasty dipping sauce. Here’s a quick and easy recipe for a creamy avocado and yogurt dip: 

Ingredients

• One ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• One minced garlic clove
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Preparing Instructions 

1. Combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
2. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
3. Transfer the dip to a bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro.

How to Make Wonton Chips: Cooking Alternatives 

Even though baked Wonton Chips are one of the healthiest options, there are two more ways to prepare them:

Fried Wonton Chips

1. Heat cooking oil, such as vegetable oil or canola oil, in a pot over medium-high heat.
2. To test the oil, add a small piece of the wonton chips or wonton strips to the hot oil and see if it sizzles.
3. Fry for about 2 minutes or until you see them in a golden-brown color.
4. Remove the fried Wonton Chips with a slotted spoon and lay them on a paper towel.
5. Sprinkle them with your favorite seasoning while they’re still hot.
6. Transfer the fried wonton strips or chips to a bowl. 

Air-Fried Wonton Chips 

1. Preheat your air fryer to around 375°F.
2. Lightly coat or spray the wonton wrappers with a small amount of oil.
3. Arrange the wrappers in a single layer in the air fryer. 
4. Air-fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Season them with your favorite spices while they’re still hot.
6. Transfer them to a bowl.

Planning a Bigger Get-Together?

If you’re planning a larger gathering, Wonton Chips may not be enough for all of your guests.

So to add to your spread, you can make French Toast Sticks by dipping sliced bread in a cinnamon-spiced egg mixture and then air-frying or baking until golden brown. 

You may also make Pumpkin Blender Muffins by blending the ingredients, pouring them into muffin cups, and baking them.
