Notes

  • If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 370°F (190°C) and then let it cook for 4-5 minutes.
  • You can also skip preheating by adding 2-4 minutes to your cooking time. Increment gradually, to prevent burning the cream cheese crab wontons.
  • Bring your cream cheese to a room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Crab sticks (imitation crab meat) taste way better than canned crab meat.
  • (Optional) For extra crispy golden finish, lightly brush the crab rangoons with oil before air frying.
  • I used a 6-quart air fryer to test this crab rangoon recipe. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
