How To Make Air Fryer Crispy Pickle & Cheese Filled Wontons
Step 1: Slice a whole dill pickle into thin rounds and shred your cheese (Colby Jack works perfectly here). Lay out your wonton wrappers ready for filling.
Step 2: Place a slice of pickle and a small handful of shredded cheese in the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold and seal the edges tightly to prevent the filling from spilling.
Step 3: Spray both sides of the wontons lightly with olive oil. This helps them crisp up beautifully in the air fryer.
Step 4: Cook in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 2 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove the wontons carefully and let them cool slightly. Serve warm as a snack or appetizer and watch them disappear fast!
Air Fryer Crispy Pickle & Cheese Filled Wontons Recipe Tips
- Don’t overfill the wontons: Too much cheese or pickle can cause them to leak.
- Spray with oil lightly: Allows maximum crispiness without soggy spots.
- Flip halfway through cooking: Even browning on both sides gives perfect crunch.
- Use thin pickle slices: Thick slices can prevent even cooking and make filling messy.
- Experiment with cheese: Colby Jack, cheddar, or pepper jack all work for melty goodness.
Storing Instructions
- Refrigerator: Let the wontons cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes until crispy again. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep them crunchy.
- Freezing: Freeze cooked wontons on a tray first, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat directly in the air fryer from frozen for 3–4 minutes.
Air Fryer Crispy Pickle & Cheese Filled Wontons Recipe Faqs
Can I make these ahead of time?! Assemble the wontons and store them in the fridge until ready to air fry. Cook fresh for best crispiness.
Can I use other cheeses? Absolutely. Cheddar, pepper jack, or a blend works great — just make sure it melts well.
Can I bake them instead of using an air fryer? Yes, bake at 375°F for 12–15 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
How do I prevent the wontons from leaking? Press the edges firmly and use a little water to seal them. Don’t overstuff with filling.
Can I add extra flavor to the filling? Sure! Try a sprinkle of garlic powder, smoked paprika, or diced jalapeños for a little extra kick.
