How to Make Air Fryer Crab Rangoon
- In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, green onions, crab meat, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic, ensuring they are thoroughly mixed.
- Place the wonton wrappers on your work surface.
- Spoon approximately a teaspoon and a half of the filling onto each wrapper, being cautious not to overfill.
- Fold each wrapper diagonally to create a triangle shape, and then bring together the two opposite corners.
- At this point, do not seal the wrapper completely. Bring up the remaining two opposite sides, gently pressing out any trapped air.
- Seal the edges by pressing them together. For a visual demonstration, I recommend checking out the accompanying recipe video. Arrange the crab rangoon in the Air Fryer.
- Air fry until golden and crispy.

Ingredients
- 4 or 6 oz cream cheese, softened If you prefer really creamy crab rangoon use 6 oz
- 4 or 6 oz lump crab meat If you prefer your crab rangoon to have more cream cheese and less crab, use 4 oz. Seafood lovers may want to go for 6 oz
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 21 wonton wrappers
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- cooking oil I use olive oil.
Instructions
- You can soften your cream cheese by heating it in the microwave for 20 seconds.
- Combine the cream cheese, green onions, crab meat, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl. Stir to mix well.
- Lay out the wonton wrappers on a working surface. I used a large, bamboo cutting board. Moisten each of the wrappers with water. I use a cooking brush, and brush it along all of the edges.Â
- Load about a teaspoon and a half of filling onto each wrapper. Be careful not to overfill.
- Fold each wrapper diagonally across to form a triangle. From there bring up the two opposite corners toward each other. Don’t close the wrapper yet. Bring up the other two opposite sides, pushing out any air. Squeeze each of the edges together. Be sure to check out the recipe video above for illustration.
- Spritz the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
- Load the crab rangoon into the air fryer basket. Do not stack or overfill. Cook in batches if needed.
- Spritz with oil.
- Place the Air Fryer on 370 degrees. Cook for 10 minutes.
- Open and flip the crab rangoon. Cook for an additional 2-5 minutes until they have reached your desired level of golden brown and crisp.
- Remove the crab rangoon from the air fryer and serve with your desired dipping sauce.
