Air Fryer Hack: Frozen Wontons, Crispy And Quick

Cooking frozen wontons in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to make a tasty snack. All you need to do is spread the frozen wontons in the air fryer basket or tray, spray them generously with oil, and cook for around 4 to 10 minutes. The wontons should be flipped halfway through cooking to ensure they are golden brown and crisp all over.

How to prevent wontons from sticking together

To prevent wontons from sticking together, it is important to ensure that they are not overlapping or crowded in the air fryer basket. You can also use a perforated parchment sheet on the bottom of the basket to allow airflow and prevent sticking. Spray the wontons with oil, but be thorough without being excessive, as this will help them cook evenly and become crispy.

How to store wontons before and after cooking

To cook frozen wontons in an air fryer, spread them in the air fryer basket or tray, ensuring they don't overlap. Spray them generously with cooking spray or olive oil spray. Set the temperature to between 350°F and 400°F for 4 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through.

Before cooking, store wontons in the freezer. First, arrange them in a single layer on a lightly floured baking sheet, ensuring they don't touch each other. Place them in the freezer for about an hour, then transfer them into an airtight container before putting them back in the freezer. Consume the wontons within three months to avoid freezer burn.

After cooking, allow the wontons to cool down for about 15 to 20 minutes before deciding whether to store them in the fridge or freezer. For short-term storage, arrange the wontons in a single layer inside an airtight container, ensuring there is some space between each one so their wrappers don't touch and stick together. Place them in the fridge and consume them within three days. For longer-term storage, place the wontons on a tray with parchment paper and allow them to cool in the fridge. Spray them with a little oil, then place them in a resealable bag or storage container. Wontons can be frozen for up to three months.
