Ingredients
- Wonton wrappers
- Cream cheese
- Green onions (chopped)
- Garlic powder
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese at room temperature for about 10 minutes to ensure smooth mixing.
- Finely chop the green onions and add them to the cream cheese, along with a pinch of garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
- Carefully separate the wonton wrappers and lay them out on a clean, dry surface. Keep a small bowl of water nearby to help seal the edges.
- Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water using your fingertip, then fold the wrapper diagonally to create a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
- Gently fold the two bottom corners of the triangle towards the center, creating a classic rangoon shape.
- Lightly spray the prepared rangoons with cooking spray to help them achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
- Arrange the rangoons on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Serve warm with sweet chili sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.
Tips
- • Keep your cream cheese at room temperature for smoother mixing • Don't overfill the wonton wrappers to prevent leaking • Use water sparingly when sealing edges to prevent soggy wrappers • Space rangoons evenly on the baking sheet for even cooking • Let them cool slightly before serving to prevent burning your mouth • Experiment with additional seasonings like sriracha or finely minced garlic for extra flavor • Serve immediately for maximum crispiness • Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crunch
