Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Lightly brush 1 side of each wonton skin with liquid margarine or melted butter.
- Cut each wonton skin in half diagonally to form 24 triangles.
- Spray a 15 x 10-inch baking pan with nonstick coating.
- Arrange the wonton triangles, margarine side up, in a single layer in the pan.
- Sprinkle with seasoned salt or cinnamon sugar lightly.
- Bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider brushing the wonton skins with garlic-infused oil instead of plain margarine. You can also experiment with different seasonings like chili powder or Italian herbs for a unique twist. If you don't have wonton skins, egg roll wrappers can be cut into smaller pieces to achieve a similar effect. Make sure not to overcrowd the baking pan for even crispiness.
Serving Suggestions
These wonton chips make a great appetizer or snack on their own, but they can also be served alongside dips like guacamole or salsa for a fusion twist. They pair beautifully with Hot 'N Spicy Veggies or can be used as a crunchy topping for salads. For a fun party platter, serve them with a variety of dips or spread them on a cheese board.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover wonton chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To maintain their crispiness, avoid refrigerating them. If they soften, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes or until they are crisp again. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them chewy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular oil instead of margarine?
Yes, you can substitute liquid margarine with any neutral oil such as canola or vegetable oil. Just ensure to brush it lightly on the wonton skins. Olive oil can also work, but it has a stronger flavor that may alter the taste slightly.
How can I make these wonton chips more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor, consider adding spices or herbs directly to the margarine before brushing it onto the wonton skins. You can also sprinkle cheese or garlic powder on top before baking for an extra savory kick.
Can I fry these wonton chips instead of baking them?
Absolutely! If you'd like to fry the wonton chips, heat oil in a deep skillet and fry the triangles in batches until they are golden brown and crisp, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
