I used to love ordering crab rangoon from Chinese restaurants…until I found out they were 7 points each!
Of course a big part of that is because they are fried.
Now when I have a craving for crab rangoon I just make it 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.
These Crab Rangoon’s are only 3 points for two! That’s for blue, green and purple.
Not frying them saves a lot of points.
I also used reduced-fat cream cheese which saved 13 points.
Crab Rangoon also makes a great appetizer for a party. They don’t take long to make and most people love them.
I will be the first to admit that mine don’t look very pretty. I have a hard time wrapping them up. 🙂
But they taste so good, it doesn’t even bother me.
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.
