Air Fryer Cream Cheese Wontons

Crispy Air Fryer Cream Cheese Wontons are filled with garlic cream cheese. Serve these easy cream cheese puffs as an appetizer or side dish.

The first cream cheese wontons were authentic, homemade ones from my neighbor who was making them for a family celebration of hers. They were the best cream cheese puffs I’ve ever had! These air fryer cream cheese wontons are a simplified version that is healthier and quicker to make.

Start by preparing the cream cheese filling. Put the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley flakes in a small bowl. Stir the cream cheese mixture until combined.

What can I add to cream cheese wontons?

These air fryer cream cheese wontons are simply seasoned with garlic, onion, and parsley from the pantry. You can use minced garlic, chopped green onions, and fresh parsley if you prefer. If you want to add meat try crab, shrimp, sausage, or even bacon.

Lay out six wonton wrappers and moisten the edges with water.

Scoop up one teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture.

Place the dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the center of the wonton wrapper.

Fold each wonton wrapper in half diagonally creating a triangle. Press around the cream cheese mixture to remove any excess air.

Fold up two of the points over the middle and secure in place with a little water. Repeat the process making six more cream cheese wontons.

Place the cream cheese wonton in the air fryer coating both sides well with olive oil spray. Start by cooking them with the points facing down. Bake them at 350˚F for 4 minutes.

Spray the cream cheese puffs with olive oil, flip them over and spray the top side. Then, cook at 350˚F for 4-6 minutes, until golden brown.

Carefully remove the air fryer cream cheese wontons and place them on a tray or in a bowl.

Coating the wontons well with olive oil spray makes them turn out golden and crispy in the air fryer! We like eating our cream cheese puffs plain but you can serve them with a sweet and sour sauce or a sweet chili sauce if you prefer.
