Our Crispy Air Fryer Jalepeno Popper Wontons are absolutely the best! I was so excited to find out that you can make Wontons in the Air Fryer and they come out absolutely phenomenal! They are super simple to make, and you can honestly make them dozens of different ways! Next time I am planning on trying to make Roasted Red Pepper Wontons!
To get started, you will need an air fryer. We have a Kitcher Air Fryer, and honestly it is super cheap and works well. Because we have a lot of kids, we plan on upgrading soon that way we can cook more in it!
I started cooking in an air fryer for multiple reasons, but most importantly its much healthier than the other alternatives! It’s also faster, the food is crispier, and they are really easy to clean!
Then you will need just a few easy to find ingredients! You will need Jalepeno Peppers, Cream Cheese, Monterrey Jack Cheese (or really any cheese to your liking) 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 large egg, wonton wrappers, cooking spray, and Chipotle Mayonaise, for dipping! Sir Kensington’s Chipotle Mayonnaise is one of our favorites!
Creating this wonderful delicacy is super easy, and only takes about 15-20 minutes total! First, you are going to preheat your air fryer to 350F. Spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray. Then, in a medium bowl, you are going to combine the diced Jalepenos, softened Cream Cheese, Monterrey Jack Cheese, and Garlic Powder. Mix this well.
Then, you will place about 2 tsp of this mix in the middle of each wonton. Do not overfill, otherwise they will burst while cooking. To fold your wontons, dip your fingers in the egg/water mixture, and rub it around the edges, fold corner to corner. Press to seal.
Place the wontons in your air fryer basket, careful not to overlap. Spray with cooking oil and cook for about 5 minutes. You likely wont have to flip and cook for another five minutes, but you can if you want them a bit more crispier!
