Air Fryer Nutella Wontons - Crispy, Gooey, and Ready in Minutes

Prep Time10 minutes

Total Time18 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • Wonton wrappers: Square, thin wrappers found in the refrigerated section near produce or tofu.
  • Nutella: Or any chocolate-hazelnut spread. Room temperature spreads easier.
  • Egg: For an egg wash to seal the edges and help them crisp. Water works if you need an egg-free option.
  • Neutral oil spray: Such as avocado or canola oil spray to promote browning.
  • Powdered sugar: Optional, for dusting.
  • Optional add-ins: Sliced strawberries, banana coins, mini chocolate chips, or a pinch of cinnamon or flaky salt.

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) while you prep. A warm basket helps crisp the wrappers.
  • Make the egg wash: Whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl. If avoiding eggs, use water or a milk alternative.
  • Lay out the wrappers: Place several wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Keep the rest covered with a slightly damp towel so they don’t dry out.
  • Add the filling: Spoon about 1 to 1½ teaspoons of Nutella into the center of each wrapper. Don’t overfill or they’ll burst.
  • Add extras (optional): A thin slice of strawberry or banana on top of the Nutella is delicious. Keep add-ins minimal so the wrapper seals.
  • Seal the wontons: Brush the egg wash lightly along the edges. Fold into a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite corner, pressing out air pockets as you seal. Press firmly along the edges.
  • Double-seal for safety: For extra insurance against leaks, crimp gently with a fork or fold the two side corners inward and press again.
  • Oil lightly: Spray both sides of the wontons with oil. Don’t soak them—just a light, even coating for crisping.
  • Air fry: Arrange wontons in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between them. Cook 4–6 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Work in batches if needed.
  • Cool briefly: Let them sit 1–2 minutes. The filling will be lava-hot right out of the fryer.
  • Finish and serve: Dust with powdered sugar, add a drizzle of melted chocolate, or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy warm.
