Baked Wonton Chips

April 30, 2009 · Narrative

Baked Wonton Chips
One of our neighbors, who is expecting her second child this summer, has her gestational diabetes test coming up, and I promised not to tempt her with too many sweets until she passes the test.  So amongst the recent spate of cookie and cupcake madness, I sent some Baked Wonton Chips over her way too.

More times than not, if it comes down to choosing between a sweet or salty item, I tend to lean more towards the salt.  Although cupcakes may be an obvious exception, give me chips and dip over chocolate any day.  Now if I can find a way to have chips and dips and perhaps not worry about the grease and salt on top of it…?  Color me happy.  That’s why I love these Baked Wonton Chips.  They’re baked in the oven, so they’re the perfect guilt-free snack when you need a little crunch.

They are crazysimple to make and you’ll have them in the oven in less than five minutes.  And the best part is that you can totally mix up the flavors to suit your current craving.  Sometimes I do salt and pepper.  Sometimes Parmesan cheese.  Sometimes a smattering of herbs.  Sometimes all of them together.  Go crazy.  Whichever way you go, you can’t go wrong.

Baked Wonton Crisps
Recipe courtesy of Cate O’Malley

wonton wrappers (3-inch squares)
cooking spray
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
toppings of your choice (i.e., Parmesan cheese, herbs, sesame seeds)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray (i.e., Pam), and arrange the wonton wrappers on the sheet, making sure they don’t touch. Spray the tops of the wonton wrappers with cooking spray and then sprinkle with salt, pepper and toppings of your choice. Bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove the wonton crisps to a wire rack, and let cool.

Note:  You can usually find wonton wrappers in the (refrigerated) produce section of your local grocery store, near the herbs and sprouts and things.

    oooooooh I’m in. I would eat chips and dip every day of the week if I wasn’t so concerned about them going straight to my hips. Hubby is a sweets lover, I’m the savory or salty.

    I bet these would also be great with some cinnamon sugar on top…you know, in case you ARE one of those people who are sugar-favorers.

    Oooooh those look mmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmm good.

    I tend to gravitate towards sweet items that are salty too (IE chocolate covered pretzels, toffee, etc)

    But I could eat chips and dips tons too.

    I happened across this recipe right before I left for the grocery store today; couldn’t help myself and purchased a package of the wonton wrappers. Can’t wait to try these out–they look yummy!! And a whole lot less expensive than store-bought chips too.

    We made things like this (with sugar and cinnamon, doused with maple syrup) in Home Ec when I was in elementary school. Perfect crunch.

    Awesome, and this is a great way to use leftover eggroll/wonton sheets.

    I just saw something like this in the current Bon Appetit or Gourmet or something like that. Great idea. Sometimes I get the wrappers & make ravioli or filled wontons or something, and then I never know what to do w/ the leftover wrappers. This is a perfect idea!

    Claire – love those!

    Scott – I totally agree, wonderful idea.

    Magda – a slightly different bite than chips, but addicting nonetheless – hope you like them! (And you needed a malted milk ball break ;))

    Michelle – no problem.

    Cathy – sea salt is perfect – glad you liked them. :)

    Lori – really? Will have to check it out. That’s exactly my problem too – always have leftover wonton wrappers from another recipe and they end up getting hard before I remember to find something to do with them. Problem solved. The next batch, I’m making your soup. :)

    Sarah – mmm, love the thought of drizzling with maple syrup, or even honey!

    Sarah C – eh, I’m a take it or leave it on the sweet and salty mix. One or the other. ;)

    Suzy Q – definitely way cheaper.

    Madeline – mine loves them too. Just watch the corner since they can be a little sharp for little ones. :)

    Natasha – hope you like them!

    Joanne – love the idea of cinnamon sugar. Reminds me of the shell that Chi Chis used to serve with their Fried Ice Cream. Speaking of which, would be fun to cut out shapes and stick into dishes of ice cream. Yum!

    I was searching the web and found this. I was making fake ravioli with the skins and thought of this because I had seen versions of chinese chicken salads with the baked wonton strips.

    The best about these is they come HOT right out of the oven. What a comfort feel you get from that regardless of the flavor. It has awesome appetizer possibilities for a party.

    And another little twist that I’ve tried is to make wonton cups. Use a mini muffin tin and push the squares of wonton until they make a small cup. Bake the same way. Fill with ahi tuna, chicken salad, guacamole, fruits – very impressive for company!
