So you've got all these leftover wonton wrappers. What do you do? Make more dumpling? Nah. I've got a fun solution to change it up a bit.
I had a few wrappers left from those potstickers and I didn't want them to go waste or just sit in the fridge. I thought of those fried wonton strips that some Chinese restaurants serve as a starter or over some entrees. As many of you know, I try to avoid deep-frying as much as possible. So it was off to the oven. I threw in a tiny twist as well by adding a little sweetness. So I dipped them in some of the left over egg wash and sprinkled a cinnamon mixture over the top and baked for 5-10min. Ta-da!! Crisps. Fun little treats these are. Serve them as a garnish over some ice cream, if you'd like. I had cut the wrappers into strips, but you make cut them into any shape that you like. Or just leave them whole.
The recipe below is made using 3 wontons wrappers, so if you're going to bake a bunch, adjust accordingly.
Sweet Wonton Crisps
wonton wrappers (cut into slices or left whole)
1Tbsp ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp ground nutmeg
1 Tsp Sugar
1 Tsp Brown Sugar
Egg wash: 1 egg beatn with 2 Tbsp water
Preheat oven 400˚F
Mix together cinnamon, nutmeg and both sugars. Set aside.
Baste both sides the wonton wrapper and place on a non-greased baking sheet. Sprinkle some of the cinnamon mixture on top.
Bake for 5-10min or until golden brown.

What a creative and tasty snack. My kids would love them... actually so would I.
These look great! I've done this in a savory fashion with a little sesame oil spread on them. I never thought to do them sweet!

Awesome Jenn. What a great way to use up those last wrappers.

Great post! That's such a great idea for left over wontons. I'll have to try next time I have some.
What a great idea - that's happened to me before and i didn't know what to do with them all
Clever idea. I still have some wonton wrapper, maybe I should make this.
I love these! You could use these as tasty dippers for so many things!
Definitely a good idea here! Crush them and sprinkle on ice cream...that's what we want to do now.

sweet wontons. Now why did not I think of that? GREG
di_ani: Thanks for the awards!
Sippity Sup: Don't know. =)
Thank you once again for demonstrating that crispy snacks do not automatically mean "deep-fried". These certainly look like they have that texture but oh-so-much-better!
Tangled Noodle: Good food without all the oil.
Ooh, I've never tried that before! You gotta put a patent on that or something, Jenn. LOL! You had me at "leftover wonton wrappers". Cooking it in the oven was genius! Baking is a great alternative to frying, that's for sure. We all have to make healthy changes in the dishes we cook, right? Thanks for the idea!
Delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Hey, there's really much effective information above!
