I used to love ordering crab rangoon from Chinese restaurants…until I found out they were 8 points each!

Of course a big part of that is because they are fried.

Now when I have a craving for crab rangoon, I make them at home. I prefer to make them in the air fryer, but if you don’t have one, you can bake them in the oven.

Not frying them saves a lot of points.

I also used reduced-fat cream cheese, which saved 13 points.

The Ingredients

Wonton wrapperss
Reduced-fat cream cheese
Lump crab meat
Green onions
Garlic powder

How to Make Crab Rangoon

You want the cream cheese to be room temperature so it’s easy to mix.

Add the softened cream cheese, crab, green onions, and garlic powder to a bowl and stir to combine.

Lay out a wonton wrapper and add a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture to the center. Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with water.

Bring the two opposite corners together and make sure they are pinched closed. Do the same with the other two corners, making sure the wonton wrapper is completely sealed.

Repeat with the remaining cream cheese mixture and wontons.

To make the wontons in the air fryer, add them to the basket in a single layer. Spray with olive oil, then set the timer for 9 minutes, or until the wontons are golden brown.

If you want to make them in the oven, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the wontons on a baking sheet and spray with olive oil spray.

Bake 15 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Crab Rangoon also makes a great appetizer for a party. They don’t take long to make and most people love them.

The most important thing you need to do is make sure the wonton wrappers are completely sealed. That way the cream cheese mixture doesn’t leak.

This recipe makes 30 Crab Rangoon’s. If you don’t need to make that many you can easily cut the recipe in half.
