Calories 46kcal
Ingredients
- 6 oz cream cheese Softened at room temperature
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sweetener or sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried chives You can use fresh, minced if you wish
- 17-21 wonton wrappers
- small bowl of water
- cooking oil spray I use olive oil
Optional
- 1/4 cup crushed pineapple I used fresh, you can also use canned. You can add more than 1/4 cup if you wish.
Instructions
- Combine the cream cheese, green onions, sweetener, and chives in a medium bowl. If you are making pineapple wontons, add the wontons here as well. Stir well.
- Grab your wonton wrapper and dip your fingers into the small bowl of water and then use your wet fingers to line the 4 edges of the wonton wrapper. You can also use a cooking brush. Depending on the brand of wonton wrappers you use, you may want to consider double wrapping, if they are extremely thing.
- Add 1 teaspoon to 1 1/2 teaspoons of filling to the middle of the wrapper. Do not overfill, the filling will leak from the wonton. Smooth the filling with a spoon or spatula.
- Seal the wrapper diagonally to create a triangle shape. Ensure the edges are moist. This will keep the wrapper sealed. You can also fold them in a rectangluar shape.
- Spray cooking oil in the air fryer basket. Load the wontons in the basket and spritz with oil. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket.
- Air fry on 370 degrees. Cook for 8-10 minutes. I did not flip the wontons. Each air fryer brand will cook at varying speeds. Check-in on the wontons and fry them to your desired level of crisp.

Notes
- I usually see wonton wrappers in the refrigerated section of the grocery store near produce.
- If you notice white dusting on the air fryer wrappers, you can spritz those areas with oil, or coat them with an egg wash.
- I usually make a batch of 1/2 savory and 1/2 with pineapples using 1/4 cup of pineapple. Feel free to double that if making full batch with pineapple.
