This retro recipe is as fun to make as it is to eat! Elegant as appetizers, but easy enough to make for a fun snack – crab Rangoons are hard to resist!
Why buy the pricey frozen version when it’s so easy to make them at home with simple ingredients?
And the air fryer does all the work with minimal clean-up!

Ingredients & Variations

CRAB: Use fresh, canned, or lump crab meat. Imitation crab will work but won’t have the same flavor.

FILLING: Cream cheese keeps everything together and a little chopped green onions and Worcestershire and soy sauce add depth of flavor.

EXTRAS: Extend the filling by adding up to 6 ounces of extra cream cheese and finely chopped mushrooms, water chestnuts, or diced bell peppers to add extra color and crunch to crab rangoon.

How to Make Crab Rangoon in Air Fryer

This delish appetizer will definitely wow your guests!

Whip cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy. Stir in everything but the crab meat.
Gently fold in the crab meat.
Place some of the crab mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper.
Brush the edge of the wrapper with water.
Flip one side over diagonally. Seal the edges by pressing down.
Bring up the two corners and seal them together with a moistened fingertip. Let the last pointed end naturally tuck backward.
Air fry (as per the recipe below).

PRO TIP: An egg wash will help seal the edges better than water if desired.

How to Serve Crab Rangoon

Serve alone or with this tasty homemade sweet and sour sauce, or this bright teriyaki sauce. Serve alongside some air fryer sesame green beans, some yummy Tex-Mex egg rolls, or some sweet & spicy mango shrimp & scallops. Or try these other wonton recipes, like fried wontons, unwrapped wonton soup, or these delish jalapeno popper wonton cups.

Tips for Crispy Wontons

Make sure the crab is drained so it doesn’t water down the filling. Once it is drained, lay it out on a clean paper towel and blot the meat with another clean paper towel.
For best results, squeeze out as much air as possible while assembling the wontons, while avoiding overfilling them.
Store leftover crab rangoon in a covered container in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer before serving again.
Freeze uncooked or cooked and cooled in zippered bags about 2 weeks. Let them thaw completely before reheating in the air fryer.
