It is extremely delicious! Usually it’s served with a tasty sweet-and-sour dipping sauce and makes for an unforgettable appetizer.

Top Tips For The Best Air Fryer Crab Rangoon:

The process is quite simple, and the result is satisfyingly crispy! Remember that you can only cook around 7-10 crab rangoons in the air fryer at one time. It’s best to prepare and cook the rangoons in multiple batches.

I love the air fryer for this recipe. The wontons get very crispy on top and even a bit crispy on the bottom. Just remember to spray the air fryer basket with a nonstick spray to avoid any sticking issues.

Don't have an air fryer? No worries! Just use a regular deep fryer or a sturdy deep pot. Heat your oil to 350°F, and fry rangoons for three to four minutes. Take rangoons out after they turn golden brown.

Want to bake them? Sure! Put all of your crab rangoons on a prepared baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 15-18 minutes.

Avoid overfilling the wonton wrappers and follow the right measurements. Overfilled wontons may explode in the air fryer. Don't forget to press the edges to seal using water.
