These parmesan wonton crackers are my FAVORITE way to use up leftover wonton wrappers. They’re crispy, sturdy, incredibly easy to make, and a great alternative to ultra-processed, ultra-salty snack foods.
Here’s the ingredient list we’re working with for these quick and simple homemade crackers:
- Store-bought wonton wrappers
- Olive Oil (or avocado oil! or liquid coconut oil! or canola oil! or melted butter!)
- Grated parmesan cheese
- Fresh Parsley (or basil, or dill, or cilantro!)
- Salt and Pepper
The crackers are ready to eat in less than half an hour, and they have a great crunch and a gorgeous color. Easy enough to make as an afternoon snack-for-one, but still pretty enough to throw in a bowl at a holiday party.
Mix up the herbs and seasonings here however you like – we love a simple salted cracker, swapping the parsley for basil or dill, adding a dash of smoked paprika, turmeric, or cayenne, or swapping the savory toppings for a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar (check out our favorite four riffs on these homemade crackers in this video!)
Store your homemade crackers in an airtight container on the counter for a day, or freeze them for easy snacking anytime.
You can keep these in the fridge if you prefer, but I find it dries the crackers out a little more. To be honest, though, these crackers go fast – I rarely need to find a place to store them at all! The recipe is also very forgiving: scale the number of crackers up or down so you make just what you need!

Notes
A note about olive oil. You can use a silicone pastry brush to brush a light layer of olive oil over your crackers, but we also love our Misto Oil Sprayer here! Pour some olive oil into the canister, use the pump cap to push some air into the bottle, and spray just like a canister of cooking spray!
Additions and Substitutions. Use avocado oil, canola oil, liquid coconut oil, or melted butter in place of the olive oil. Use chopped basil, dill, or cilantro in place of the parsley, or omit it entirely. Strict vegetarians should look for parmesan cheese made without rennet. We have not tested this recipe with rice wrappers or pasta dough.
Ingredients and Equipment. We’ve used Melissa’s Won Ton Wraps and Nasoya Won Ton Wraps here, but use what you have on hand! If you’re brushing olive oil onto your wonton wrappers, we love a small silicone pastry brush. To spray the oil onto your crackers, we love our Misto Oil Sprayer.
How to serve these parmesan wonton crackers: Serve these homemade crackers on a cheese plate, with a bowl of hummus, or alongside your favorite dip! We love using these with our Roasted Red Pepper Baked Ricotta, Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Dip, or Smoked Salmon Dip.

Make these with olive oil and S&P all time. Just a great cracker to have. Love to top with seared tuna, wasabi and soy sauce.
Wonton crackers are just the best!
These are a very tasty snack. I did fresh rosemary, cracked black pepper with sea salt & basil.

Thank you Kelly, sounds delish!
Hello…these look so good! I was wondering if you could make these with rice wrappers. I am celiac and can’t use the wonton wraps.
You could but watch them VERY CAREFULLY. They are more delicate. I would say try it for sure.
We haven’t tested this recipe with rice wrappers so I can’t say for sure!
These look great! How far in ad0vance can I make them and how do u store them?
It is amazing how a few simple ingredients can result in such a tasty cracker. I had some leftover wonton wrappers on hand and decided to give this a try. Will definitely make these again. I followed the recipe but added finely chopped shallots and paprika to the second batch just for fun. Loved both variations.
