When I'm craving something snacky, I reach for these easy wonton crackers. They're fast - like, almost-as-fast-as-opening-a-bag-of-chips fast - and almost impossibly thin and crispy.

This recipe is a riff on our fan-favorite parmesan wonton crackers: serve it with hummus, a quick cheese and charcuterie board, or your favorite dip (highly recommended: our red pepper baked ricotta, whipped goat cheese, or creamy whipped feta).

Our basic order of operations

Cut square wonton wrappers in half to form rectangles (this helps them bake more evenly!)
Brush with a bit of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper (or any other toppings you like!)
Bake until crispy - this goes quick, so keep an eye on them! They only need a few minutes in the oven.

Riffs and Substitutions

These crackers are super forgiving! A few of our favorite ways to mix them up:

Add cheese and herbs (à la our favorite parmesan wonton crackers!)
Top with cinnamon and sugar for a sweet version (serve with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting for dipping!)
Top with your favorite spices (we like smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne, or a bit of garam masala).

A few FAQs

How do I store these crackers?

Store leftover crackers in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days. After a few days, they'll start to lose their crisp texture and will feel a little more brittle.

Can I cut different shapes?

We prefer making these crackers rectangular because they tend to bake more evenly. You can cut wonton wrapper squares diagonally to form triangles if you like, but keep a close eye on them as they bake: the thin, pointy edges can brown and burn more quickly.

What kind of wonton wrappers should I use?

We've had good luck with many popular brands of wonton wrappers, including Twin Marquis Shanghai style and Hong Kong style wonton wrappers and Nasoya wrappers. You can also use homemade wonton wrappers if you like.

Why are some of my crackers puffy?

Depending on the brand you use, you may notice that a wrapper will occasionally puff up as it cooks (almost like a little pillow). Don't worry if this happens - it's just a quirk of some wonton wrapper brands! It will still taste good; there's just a bit of extra air in the center.
