Garlic Parmesan Wonton Chips Recipe
Introduction
Wonton chips are a crispy, cheesy snack that’s quick and easy to make at home. Perfect as a crunchy appetizer or an unexpected party treat, these chips combine buttery wonton wrappers with savory Parmesan for delicious results.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- 20 wonton wrappers
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (or more as desired)
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley (optional, garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375˚F.
- Step 2: Melt the butter. Using a silicone or pastry brush, lightly brush a baking tray with the melted butter.
- Step 3: Separate the wonton wrappers and cut each one corner to corner to create triangular shapes. Arrange the triangles back into their original square shape on the baking tray, placing them close together. You should fit about 24 triangles on one tray. Brush the tops with melted butter.
- Step 4: Sprinkle the wontons evenly with Parmesan cheese and dried parsley if using.
- Step 5: Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the wontons are lightly browned and crispy.

Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika along with the Parmesan cheese before baking.
- Try swapping Parmesan for Asiago or Pecorino Romano for a different cheesy twist.
- If you want thinner chips, gently press the triangles flat before brushing with butter.
Storage
Store leftover wonton chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain their crispiness. To re-crisp, warm them in a 350˚F oven for a few minutes before serving.

Can I bake wonton chips without butter?
