Air Fryer Crab Rangoon

5 from 7 Ratings
Just like your favorite Chinese takeout appetizer, but air fried or baked instead of deep fried, so you can have several without any guilt! This Air Fryer Crab Rangoon recipe is super simple, delicious, and freezer friendly!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes
Total Time: 21 minutes
Servings: 30

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces crab meat
  • 8 ounces cream cheese , softened
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 scallion , thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 12 ounce package wonton wrappers (you might have some left over)

Instructions

  • Drain the crab meat and check for shells; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl add the cream cheese and mix together with the mayonnaise, scallion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Gently fold in the crab.
  • Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a touch of water, then place about 2 & 1/2 teaspoons of the crab filling in the center. Bring the two flat sides of the wrapper together to form four points (as seen in the photos.) Try to seal the wrapper around the filling - if a little bit of the filling comes up in the center of the wonton, that is okay.
  • Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Place as many wontons as you can into the basket without touching. Spray the wontons generously with cooking spray.
  • Air fry for 6 minutes at 380 degrees F until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve with sweet chili sauce and enjoy!
    IMPORTANT NOTE! This recipe was tested using this 5.8 QT Cosori Air Fryer. If you own a different model air fryer, I would suggest doing a test run with just a few crab rangoon and then adjust the time/temp, if necessary. Air fryers are all similar, but just like ovens, cooking times can vary.
