When I decided to make my Egg Roll in a Bowl this week, I thought some cream cheese wontons would be the perfect appetizer to go with it. And since I’ve already done baked ones, why not try them in the air fryer? As it turns out, the air fryer is the perfect way to get some crispy and delicious cream cheese rangoons!

These crunchy cream cheese bits are great for dipping and dunking into your favorite asian inspired sauce alongside your favorite asian inspired meal. They’re quick and easy to make while also being kid-friendly and vegetarian! You could take them a step further and make them vegan too with a tofu cream cheese - which is something I have totally done before.

Of course, these already have a lot less fat and calories since we’re air frying them instead of traditional. But, I also used a reduced fat cream cheese with them just to cut the calories down even more. The green onion and pinch of salt make a big difference in the filling too.

Other than that, these Cream Cheese Rangoons are pretty standard and made with minimal ingredients! Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to fry these in batches like I did. You don’t want them touching each other while in the fryer.
