Crispy Air-Fried Beef Wontons
  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fill a small bowl with water.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef, green onions, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and ginger until well combined.

  3. 3

    Lay several wonton wrappers on a work surface. Place 1-tablespoon portions of the beef mixture on one side of each wrapper. Dip your fingertips in the water and run them around the edges of the wrappers.

  4. 4

    Fold the wrappers in half to make triangles around the filling, then wet your fingertips again and pinch the edges to seal. Move the wontons to a plate, keeping them from overlapping. Repeat with the remaining wontons.

  5. 5

    Working in batches, lightly brush as many wontons as will fit in a single layer in the air fryer basket on one side with sesame oil. Set them in the basket oil-side down, then lightly brush the tops with more sesame oil.

  6. 6

    Air fry in the preheated air fryer for 4 minutes, then carefully flip with tongs. Continue cooking until crispy and the edges are golden brown, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool while you cook the remaining wontons.
