How to make air fryer Bibigo mini wontons
Begin by taking the wontons out of the freezer. There’s no need to thaw them as they cook well straight from frozen, offering a quick and easy option for a snack or meal.
Next, open the air fryer basket or tray and arrange the mini wontons in a single layer. Make sure they are spaced out slightly to allow hot air to circulate around each wonton, ensuring they cook properly and become crispy. If they are too close together, they might not crisp up as nicely.
Lightly spray wontons with oil spray. I used an olive oil spray from costco.
Set your air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit (193 degrees Celsius) and adjust the cooking time to 8 minutes. Since you're not preheating the air fryer, the wontons might need a minute or two extra to cook through completely, but starting them in a cold air fryer won't significantly affect the cooking time for such small items.
Halfway through the cooking time, around the 4-minute mark, it’s helpful to open the air fryer and shake the basket or use tongs to flip the wontons. This ensures even browning and crisping on all sides.
After the initial 8 minutes, check the wontons. They should have a golden brown and crispy exterior. If they need more time, you can continue cooking them for an additional 1-2 minutes, but keep a close watch to avoid overcooking, as this could make them too hard and diminish the flavor of the filling.
Once cooked to your satisfaction, remove the wontons from the air fryer. Be cautious as they will be hot. Serve them with your choice of dipping sauce, like soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or a spicy chili sauce, for a delightful appetizer, snack, or side dish that is crispy and delicious, easily made in your air fryer without the need for preheating.
Expert tips
- Lightly Spray with Oil: Before cooking, lightly spray or brush the wontons with a small amount of oil (e.g., olive or vegetable oil) for an extra crispy and golden exterior.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Make sure wontons are spaced out in the air fryer basket to allow for optimal air circulation, leading to even cooking and crispiness.
- Cook in Batches: If cooking a large batch, do it in multiple small batches to maintain quality and ensure each wonton cooks evenly.
Leftovers and reheating
Store leftover Bibigo mini wontons in the air tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for couple minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not refreeze.
Frequently asked questions
Bibigo mini wontons pair well with various dipping sauces, including simple soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or your favorite custom sauce.
While not necessary, a light spray of oil can help achieve a crispy and delicious texture. If you decide to use oil, vegetable or canola oil is recommended.
An air fryer uses hot air to cook food, creating a crispy layer without the need for excessive oil, making it a healthier option. It also produces less smoke than deep frying, keeping your kitchen cleaner and fresher.
Lightly spraying the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brushing it with a bit of oil can help prevent sticking. I also recommend using parchment paper specifically designed for air fryers with holes in it to allow air flow. You can see it in my photos.
