Main Ingredients
- Wonton Wrappers (quantity as needed for serving size)
- Olive Oil (enough to lightly brush each wrapper)
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (about 1 cup)
- Grated Parmesan Cheese (about ¼ cup)
- Italian Seasoning (1-2 teaspoons)
- Garlic Powder (1 teaspoon)
- Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (¼ teaspoon, optional)
- Preheat and Prepare: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and promote even crisping.
- Arrange the Wonton Wrappers: Place wonton wrappers flat on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap to allow even crisping of each chip.
- Add Olive Oil and Seasonings: Lightly brush each wonton wrapper with olive oil. Then evenly sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) over the wrappers.
- Sprinkle the Cheeses: Generously top each wrapper with shredded mozzarella cheese and a light dusting of grated parmesan cheese to create a melted cheesy crust.
- Bake Until Crispy: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the chips turn golden brown and the cheese bubbles and browns slightly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet to crisp up further before serving.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded mozzarella for best melting and texture.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even crispiness.
- Keep an eye on the chips near the end of baking to prevent burning.
- For extra crunch, layer two wonton wrappers thinly instead of one.
- Serve the chips fresh after cooling for the crispiest experience.
