Crispy Baked Cream Cheese Rangoons Recipe

Introduction

Crispy Baked Cream Cheese Rangoons offer a delightful blend of creamy filling and a perfectly crisp wonton wrapper. These easy-to-make appetizers bring a spicy kick with jalapeños and sriracha, perfect for any party or snack craving.

Ingredients

• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1 medium jalapeño, finely diced
• 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
• 2 tsp sriracha
• 1 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 20 square wonton wrappers
• Avocado oil or sesame oil, for brushing

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, diced jalapeño, soy sauce, sriracha, rice wine vinegar, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well to blend all ingredients evenly.
3. Step 3: Place about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly brush water around the edges of the wrapper, then bring all four corners up to the center and pinch tightly to seal.
4. Step 4: Arrange the sealed rangoons in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a thin layer of avocado or sesame oil for extra crispiness.
5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, or until the wrappers are golden and crispy. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips & Variations

• For a milder version, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before dicing.
• Try swapping sriracha with sweet chili sauce for a sweeter flavor profile.
• Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
• Brush oil on both sides of the rangoons to ensure an even golden crisp.

Storage

Store leftover rangoons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, bake at 350 degrees F for 5-7 minutes to regain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Filling

• 8 oz. Cream cheese, softened
• 1 medium Jalapeño, finely diced
• 1 tsp Rice wine vinegar
• 2 tsp Sriracha
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce or coconut aminos
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp Garlic powder

Assembly

• 20 square Wonton wrappers
• Avocado oil or sesame oil, for brushing

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
2. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, finely diced jalapeño, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sriracha, rice wine vinegar, kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Assemble the Rangoons: Spoon about one tablespoon of the cream cheese filling onto the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly brush water around the edges of each wrapper, then bring all four corners up to the center and pinch firmly to seal, forming a neat pouch. Place each assembled Rangoon in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Brush with Oil: Lightly brush the tops of the sealed Rangoons with avocado oil or sesame oil to help them crisp up beautifully as they bake.
5. Bake Until Crispy: Bake the Rangoons in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce for a tasty appetizer or snack.

Notes

• Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth filling.
• Adjust the amount of jalapeño or sriracha to suit your desired spice level.
• If you don’t have wonton wrappers, you can substitute with fresh spring roll wrappers or small filo dough sheets, though baking time may vary.
• Brush each Rangoon lightly with oil to achieve the signature crispy texture without deep frying.
• Serve immediately to enjoy maximum crispiness; leftovers can be reheated in the oven but may lose some crisp texture.
