    Crispy, creamy and delicious - these fried wontons are the best party appetizer. The filling is a combo of corn, jalapeño, cilantro, green onion, garlic, vegan cream cheese & spices. Mix everything together, spoon some into the center of a wonton wrapper & fold it up. Fry in oil until crispy and serve with spicy mayo.

    How to Make the Filling

    The filling comes together super quickly. You just need a few ingredients:

    • vegan cream cheese
    • corn - I used frozen corn that I thawed
    • jalapeño
    • cilantro
    • green onion
    • garlic
    • smoked paprika
    • cumin
    • salt & pepper

    Mix everything together in a bowl and give it a taste - you can always adjust the ingredients to your liking!

    Assemble & Fry

    Place a square wonton wrapper on a clean surface and spoon a heaping teaspoon of filling into the center. Wet the edges of the wonton wrapper with water (just use your finger) and fold it into a triangle. Be sure to press out any air bubbles and seal the edges tightly.

    Repeat this with the remaining ingredients and then it is time to fry - if you are making these ahead of time, this is when you would want to freeze the wontons.

    Heat some oil in a skillet or stock pot. Once hot, work in batches, cooking the wontons until browned on both sides. This should only take a couple minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon or fork and place on a plate lined with a paper towel.

    Serve

    You want to let the wontons cool slightly - we're not trying to burn anyones mouth. You can serve these with any of your favorite dipping sauces. I decided to make a spicy mayo, but these would also be really good with a sweet chili sauce or even vegan ranch!

    You can reheat leftovers in the air fryer or oven - just heat at 350 until warmed through.

      Can you also use the air fryer? If so, what temperature and how long? Thank you 🙂
