Time 30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
½ (16 ounce) package 4 1/2-inch wonton wrappers
2 tablespoons sesame oil

Steps:

Combine ground beef, green onions, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and ginger in a bowl; mix well.
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place several of the wonton wrappers on a plate or a cutting board without overlapping. Pour some water into a small bowl next to the plate.
Form about 1 tablespoon of beef mixture into a ball and place on one side of each wrapper. Dip your fingertips in the bowl of water and swipe some water around the edges of the wonton wrappers. Fold the wontons in half so that they form a triangle around the beef mixture. Wet your fingers with additional water and pinch the edges of the wrapper together. Place folded wontons onto plates, making sure they don't overlap, while you assemble the remaining wontons.
Brush one side of the wontons lightly with sesame oil. Place a single layer of wontons into the air fryer basket, oiled side down. Brush the tops lightly with additional sesame oil.
Air fry for 4 minutes, then carefully flip the wontons with tongs. Cook on the second side until the wontons are crispy and the edges are golden brown, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer wontons to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool while you cook the rest of the wontons in batches.

Tips:

Use wonton wrappers that are not too thick. Thicker wrappers will not crisp up as well in the air fryer.
Make sure the wonton wrappers are completely sealed. This will prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. This will prevent the wontons from cooking evenly.
Cook the wontons in a single layer. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
Spray the wontons with cooking oil before cooking. This will help them to crisp up and prevent them from sticking to the air fryer basket.
Cook the wontons at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for a short period of time (5-7 minutes). This will help them to cook through without overcooking.
Serve the wontons immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
