Air Fryer

Ingredients

2 tbsp. grated carrots
2 tbsp. grated zucchini
¼ cup diced cooked chicken
1 tbsp pickled jalapenos finely chopped
3 tbsp. cream cheese softened
2 tsp. barbecue sauce
20 wonton wrappers
1 tbsp canola oil

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 390°F.
Wrap the grated carrots and zucchini in a paper towel and squeeze out excess liquid.
In a large bowl, combine the carrots, zucchini, chicken, jalapenos, cream cheese and barbecue sauce.
Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of the wonton wrapper. Apply a small amount of water along the edges of the wrapper to help seal it, then fold in a triangle. If the wrappers are coated with flour, place the filling on the floured side)
Repeat the process with the remaining wontons and place on a plate, covering with a damp paper towel. Before cooking brush each with canola oil.
Spray the air fryer baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, then place 5 wontons in the pan and cook for 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Reapeat this process with the remaining wontons.
Remove the wontons from the fryer and allow to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
