Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Wonton Wrappers: Look for fresh wrappers in your local grocery store; they make assembly a breeze.
  • Fresh Spinach: Use baby spinach for its tender texture; it wilts beautifully when cooked.
  • Canned Artichokes: Drain well before using; they’ll add a delightful tanginess to the filling.
  • Cream Cheese: Choose full-fat cream cheese for creaminess that makes each bite heavenly.
  • Shredded Parmesan Cheese: A sprinkle adds nutty depth; opt for freshly grated if possible.
  • Garlic Powder: This adds aromatic warmth; feel free to use fresh garlic for an extra kick.
  • Salt and Pepper: Essential seasoning for balancing flavors; don’t skimp on these!
  • Oil for Frying: Vegetable oil works best here; it has a high smoke point ideal for frying.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare the Filling: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach (sautéed lightly), drained artichokes (chopped), softened cream cheese, shredded Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well mixed.

Assemble the Wontons: Take one wonton wrapper at a time and place about one tablespoon of filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water, fold it into a triangle shape, sealing tightly by pressing down around the edges.

Fry Those Wontons!: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully drop in the assembled wontons in batches; fry until golden brown—about 3-4 minutes per side.

Drain Excess Oil: Use tongs to remove the fried wontons from oil and place them on paper towels to absorb excess grease. This step keeps them crispy without being too oily.

Serve with Dipping Sauce: Pair these crunchy delights with your favorite dipping sauce—sweet chili sauce or ranch dressing works wonders! Enjoy while warm.

Each step brings you closer to those crispy bites of joy filled with creamy goodness—the perfect addition to any gathering or late-night snack session!

Now that you’ve mastered this delicious recipe for Spinach Artichoke Wontons, you can impress your friends or simply indulge yourself! Happy cooking!
