Ingredients

• 1 bag of Publix Wontons (pork, chicken, veggie, or your preferred variety)

• Optional:

  • Light oil spray for extra crispiness

  • Dipping sauces (soy sauce, sweet chili, or sesame ginger)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 2–3 minutes for best texture.

Step 2: Arrange the Wontons

Place frozen wontons in a single layer in the basket or tray. Leave a little space between each one for airflow.(Optional) Lightly spray with oil for an extra golden finish.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

Air fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping or shaking the basket halfway through.

• Check at 8 minutes—wontons should be crisp and golden on all sides

• Add 1–2 minutes if needed for larger or meat-filled varieties

Step 4: Check for Doneness

The outer wrapper should be golden brown and crisp, and the center should be hot and fully cooked. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 5: Let Cool & Serve

Cool for 1–2 minutes, then serve with dipping sauces and garnishes if desired.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Don’t Overcrowd the Basket

Space out the wontons to allow full circulation of hot air for even crisping.

Flip or Shake Halfway Through

This ensures all sides cook evenly and prevents sticking.

Use Oil Spray Sparingly

A light mist adds color and crunch but isn’t necessary for great results.

Serve Immediately

Wontons are best served fresh from the air fryer while crispy.
