Notes

HOW TO MAKE WONTON CHIPS

20 wonton wraps, cut in half diagonally, cooking spray (olive oil), ¾ teaspoon salt

AIR FRYER:

Preheat air fryer to 375°F (try 350). Spray the basket of the air fryer. Add halved wonton wrappers in a single layer, then spray tops with cooking spray. Cook 1-½ minutes, shake, and cook an additional 1-½ minutes until golden brown and crisp. Remove to wire rack and sprinkle with salt. Let cool completely. You will probably need to do them in batches.

BAKED:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Place the halved wonton wrappers on the baking sheet and spray evenly with cooking spray. Season with salt. Bake 6-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
