Crispy, golden brown wonton strips made in an air fryer are a healthier alternative to deep-fried wontons. These delicious snacks are made with wonton wrappers, oil, and your favorite seasonings. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a topping for salads, soups, and stir-fries. This recipe provides two cooking methods: the first cooks the wonton strips for 8-10 minutes at 350°F, while the second cooks them for 1-2 minutes at 370°F.
In addition to the classic wonton strip recipe, there are two additional variations:
* **Sriracha Wonton Strips**: These wonton strips are coated in a spicy Sriracha-based sauce, providing a kick of heat and flavor.
* **Everything Bagel Wonton Strips**: Using an "everything bagel" spice blend, these wonton strips have a savory and flavorful coating that mimics the taste of the popular bagel topping.

Steps:
- Combine ground beef, green onions, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and ginger in a bowl; mix well.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place several of the wonton wrappers on a plate or a cutting board without overlapping. Pour some water into a small bowl next to the plate.
- Form about 1 tablespoon of beef mixture into a ball and place on one side of each wrapper. Dip your fingertips in the bowl of water and swipe some water around the edges of the wonton wrappers. Fold the wontons in half so that they form a triangle around the beef mixture. Wet your fingers with additional water and pinch the edges of the wrapper together. Place folded wontons onto plates, making sure they don't overlap, while you assemble the remaining wontons.
- Brush one side of the wontons lightly with sesame oil. Place a single layer of wontons into the air fryer basket, oiled side down. Brush the tops lightly with additional sesame oil.
- Air fry for 4 minutes, then carefully flip the wontons with tongs. Cook on the second side until the wontons are crispy and the edges are golden brown, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer wontons to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool while you cook the rest of the wontons in batches.

AIR FRYER PORK WONTONS
These air fryer pork wontons are just as crunchy and crispy as traditionally fried pork wontons, except you can forget about the mess of deep frying. These are folded in an envelope shape, which is optimal for even browning and crisping in the air fryer.

Steps:
- Make the wontons: Preheat an air fryer to 325˚ F. Mix the pork, scallion, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, garlic, ginger and sugar in a medium bowl until well combined.
- Spread out the wonton wrappers on a work surface. Scoop 1 teaspoonful of the pork mixture into the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges; fold in half to make a triangle. Fold in the two lower points to look like an open envelope; seal with a dab of water. Brush both sides with sesame oil.
- Add the wontons to the air fryer basket. Cook, flipping halfway through, until golden, 10 minutes.
- Make the dipping sauce: Whisk the soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds and scallion in a small bowl. Serve with the wontons.

Steps:
- Cut wonton wrappers into strips about 1/2-inch by 3 inches long. NOTE: egg roll wrappers can be used, but cut them in half first before cutting the strips.
- NOTE: canola oil, vegetable oil, or corn oil can be used if desired. Peanut oil is recommended due to the high flash point (since you will probably dribble some oil as you scoop out the fried wontons).
- Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep pan on medium-high to 360 degrees. If you don't have a thermometer, try dropping a single strip in to see if it crisps up quickly. If it does, then it's hot enough.
- NOTE: the strips cook very quickly. If the oil is hot enough, they will be done in as soon as 15 seconds, so don't walk away!
- Fry the strips in batches, spreading them out so they don't stick. Flip them over with a slotted spoon if both sides aren't browning evenly. Remove when they turn golden brown.
- Drain on paper towel-lined plate.
- Sprinkle with salt if desired. This is absolutely NOT a traditional way to prepare the wonton strips, but it's tasty.

Steps:
- Mix peanut butter, brown sugar, honey, and sesame seeds in a small bowl.
- Lay out a wonton square. Dip your index finger into water and moisten all 4 edges. Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture in the center, and fold it diagonally to make a triangle, firmly pressing the edges down. Don't overfill, as the peanut butter mixture may ooze out.
- Once you've made a triangle shape, take the bottom corners and fold around your index finger so they meet. Moisten the 2 wonton corners and press together to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Preheat an air fryer to 370 degrees F (188 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes.
- Working in batches, add some wontons to the fryer basket; make sure they're not crowded or touching. Spray lightly with cooking spray and cook until just light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cool slightly, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.

Tips:
- Use wonton wrappers that are at least 3 inches square. Smaller wrappers will be more difficult to fold and will not fry as evenly.
- Cut the wonton wrappers into thin strips. This will help them to crisp up in the air fryer.
- Season the wonton strips with your favorite spices. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
- Spray the wonton strips with cooking oil before air frying. This will help them to brown and crisp.
- Air fry the wonton strips at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the wonton strips immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
