Wonton Crackers Recipe
Quite possibly the easiest (and cheapest) way to make homemade crackers at home. Wonton wrappers make for a super crispy, versatile cracker.
You know what I love? Discovering a recipe that uses an everyday ingredient in a totally new way.
For example, I use wonton wrappers all the time to make potstickers, desserts, and various appetizers. Little did I know that these humble wrappers hold their own when brushed with olive oil and baked until crisp.
I made a very basic batch of wonton wrapper crackers, opting to use olive oil and nothing else. However, you could certainly sprinkle on some Parmesan cheese, rosemary, sea salt, or another topping prior to baking if you want something more fancy.
Uses For Wonton Crackers
- Serve with Chinese chicken salad
- Serve with a warm spinach-artichoke dip
- Serve with this $10 appetizer platter
- Crumble and serve on top of soup or salad
- Eat them plain!
The Cost: 7 Cents Per Cracker
A package of wonton wrappers costs about $3.00. The package I used contained 48 wonton wrappers.
Considering that these crackers call for just two ingredients – wonton wrappers and olive oil – I consider this an extremely cheap recipe.
About 7 cents per cracker, if you want to be specific.

Wonton Crackers
Look for any of the following brands of wonton wrappers: Nasoya, Frieda's or Melissa's. I have also made these using coconut oil instead of olive oil, and they turned out great.
Ingredients
- 1 package wonton wrappers (look for Melissa's, Nasoya or Frieda's brands)
- 1/2 cup olive oil or coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with olive oil. Lay wonton wrappers in a single layer on baking sheet. Brush with more olive oil. The wonton wrappers should be covered but not saturated with olive oil.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until wonton crackers are lightly golden brown. Continue baking the rest of the wonton crackers, adding more oil to the pan if necessary. Allow to cool before serving.
How cool! I bet Parmesan cheese would be fantastic on these!
Totally – need to try that next time!
Look delicious. I plan to make these soon. Thanks for sharing.
I skip the olive oil and place the wontons directed onto a silpat in a bakiing sheet…then I spray with Pam. Easy, easy. Bake at 350 for 6-8 minutes or until desired brownness.
Love! Saw your post 12 minutes ago – ran to the kitchen, made them and am now sitting at my desk writing this post eating the most delicious 2 ingredient wonton crackers! (Actually 3 – I sprinkled a bit of salt on them before I put them in the oven). Fantastic! Thanks to YOU for posting this!
Awesome! So glad you like them. They’re so easy, aren’t they??
How long will the stay crispy? Was thinking of doing ahead of Thanksgiving Day gathering.
A long time! These can be made several days ahead of time.
Just made these. Used a sprinkle of sea salt. Used olive oil. Didn’t have coconut oil. Love the crispiness and flavor. Perfect, easy and tasty. Will make these at my next girls happy hour.
Olive oil is just fine – so glad you like them!
Thanks! I did this recipe using egg roll wrappers. We like to make baked eggs rolls with ground turkey and either cabbage or broccoli slaw, and I always have leftover egg roll wrappers that do NOT freeze well.
Like another reviewer, I put them on a silpat instead of spraying a sheet. I brushed them with Tahitian-Lime olive oil and sprinkled with salt. There are endless possibilities with these with all kinds of combinations of oil flavors, salts, and spices!
I baked at 370 for 4 minutes, turned the pan, and baked for another 4 minutes. They’re great!
