These crispy baked cream cheese wontons feature a golden, crunchy shell with a creamy, tangy filling, perfectly paired with a sweet chili dipping sauce. They are quick, easy, and a crowd-pleasing snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese (full-fat preferred, light cream cheese optional)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
  • A few drops of sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 20 wonton wrappers (fresh or thawed from frozen)
  • Cooking oil for brushing (vegetable or canola oil recommended)
  • Sweet chili sauce (store-bought or homemade) for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  3. Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wrapper.
  4. Lightly moisten the edges of each wrapper with water. Fold in half to form a triangle and press edges firmly to seal. Optionally, bring opposite corners together and pinch to form a pouch.
  5. Arrange filled wontons on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush each wonton with cooking oil.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy, watching closely near the end to avoid burning.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Notes

Brush wontons lightly with oil before baking for a golden crisp. Seal edges well with water to prevent leaks. Space wontons apart on the baking sheet to avoid sogginess. Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing. Can freeze assembled wontons before baking; bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep crispness.
