Wonton Chips Recipe

Wonton wrappers: Thin sheets of dough typically used in Asian cuisine, perfect for creating crispy chips.

Olive oil: Adds a light flavor and helps the wonton wrappers crisp up in the oven.

Salt: Enhances the flavor of the wonton chips, giving them a savory touch.

To achieve the perfect crispiness for your wonton wrappers, make sure to brush them evenly with olive oil. This ensures that they bake uniformly and develop a golden-brown color. Additionally, keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes of baking, as they can go from perfectly crispy to burnt very quickly. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.

• wonton wrappers - Substitute with rice paper: Rice paper is a great vegan alternative that can be cut into triangles and baked or fried to achieve a similar crispy texture.

• olive oil - Substitute with avocado oil: Avocado oil has a high smoke point and a neutral flavor, making it an excellent substitute for olive oil in this recipe.

• salt - Substitute with sea salt: Sea salt can be used as a direct substitute for regular salt, providing a slightly different mineral content and flavor profile.

• Allow the wonton chips to cool completely before storing. This ensures they remain crispy and don't become soggy.
• Place the cooled wonton chips in an airtight container. A resealable plastic bag or a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid works well.
• Store the container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The pantry or a kitchen cabinet is ideal.
• For longer storage, consider freezing the wonton chips. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid.
• Once frozen, transfer the wonton chips to a resealable freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible before sealing to prevent freezer burn.
• Label the bag with the date and contents. Frozen wonton chips can be stored for up to 2 months.
• To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the frozen wonton chips in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until they regain their crispiness.
• Avoid microwaving the wonton chips as this can make them chewy instead of crispy.
