Sweet Wonton Pillows Recipes

PESTO PIZZA PILLOWS

Steps:

• Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to 365 degrees F.
• Lay out the wonton wrappers on your work surface. Brush each entire wrapper with egg wash. Top each with a heaping tablespoon of mozzarella, a crumble of sausage, 1/2 teaspoon pesto and 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan, leaving space around the edges. Fold the corners of each wrapper into the center to make a square. Press to seal.
• Fry the sealed pockets in 2 batches, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown all over, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Season lightly with salt and sprinkle with Parmesan while still hot. Serve hot, with marinara for dipping.

AIR-FRIED SWEET WONTONS

Steps:

• Mix peanut butter, brown sugar, honey, and sesame seeds in a small bowl.
• Lay out a wonton square. Dip your index finger into water and moisten all 4 edges. Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture in the center, and fold it diagonally to make a triangle, firmly pressing the edges down. Don't overfill, as the peanut butter mixture may ooze out.
• Once you've made a triangle shape, take the bottom corners and fold around your index finger so they meet. Moisten the 2 wonton corners and press together to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
• Preheat an air fryer to 370 degrees F (188 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes.
• Working in batches, add some wontons to the fryer basket; make sure they're not crowded or touching. Spray lightly with cooking spray and cook until just light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cool slightly, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.
