Crispy Spinach Artichoke Wontons are filled with a creamy filling enhanced by a crispy outer crunch.
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup spinach artichoke dip
  • vegetable oil for frying wontons
  • 15 wonton wrappers (more or less may be needed)
  • 3 tablespoons water in a small dish
Instructions
  1. On a cutting board assemble spinach artichoke dip, wonton wrappers, and water in a small bowl.
  2. With your fingers wet the edges of the wonton wrapper with the water. Place a ½ teaspoon of the spinach artichoke dip in the center of the wonton wrapper. Don't overfill the wonton because the filling will spill out during frying.
  3. Fold half of the wonton wrapper over (triangle fold) on itself evenly.
  4. Press the seams together at the edges to seal firmly.
  5. Allow the wontons to chill for at least 10 minutes before frying; Chilling helps to prevent the filling from spilling out of the wontons.
  6. Using a thermometer heat the vegetable oil to 340 degrees in a skillet (lowing the temperature to medium heat).
  7. Fry only 3 to four wonton at a time, you don't want to overcrowd the skillet. Turn the wonton when golden brown on both sides, this should take one minute or less. It's important to watch the wontons at all times during the frying process since they can burn quickly.
  8. Drain the wontons on a dish lined with paper towels.
  9. Season the crispy spinach artichoke wontons with salt and serve immediately.
