Ingredients
  

24 square wonton wrappers

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or use cooking spray for a lighter option)

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to your taste)

1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for added flavor)

1 teaspoon onion powder (optional for extra depth)

1 teaspoon paprika (for a touch of color and mild sweetness)

Fresh herbs for garnish (cilantro or green onions work beautifully, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer: Begin by setting your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes while you prepare the wonton wrappers.

    Prepare the Wonton Wrappers: Open the package of wonton wrappers and carefully cut each wrapper in half diagonally. This process will give you 48 triangular pieces, perfect for chips.

      Season the Wonton Chips: Transfer the triangular wonton pieces into a mixing bowl. Drizzle the vegetable oil over them and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika if you choose to use it. Toss gently but thoroughly, ensuring each piece is well-coated with the oil and seasonings.

        Arrange in the Air Fryer: Layer the seasoned wonton triangles in the air fryer basket in a single, non-overlapping layer. This arrangement is crucial for optimal air circulation to achieve that perfect crispness.

          Air Fry the Chips: Cook the wonton chips for 4-5 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and become irresistibly crispy. For even cooking, shake the basket halfway through the air frying process.

            Cool and Garnish: After cooking, transfer the crispy wonton chips to a cooling rack to prevent moisture buildup and maintain their crunch. If desired, enhance their flavor by sprinkling with an extra pinch of salt or garnishing with your choice of fresh herbs.

              Serve: Delight in your crunchy air-fried wonton chips either on their own as a satisfying snack or paired with an assortment of your favorite dipping sauces like sweet chili sauce, fresh salsa, or creamy guacamole.
