Yes, for a healthier alternative, you can bake them. Arrange the wonton triangles on a baking sheet, lightly spray with cooking oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crisp. They will be less puffy but still delicious.
They are incredibly versatile! Classic pairings include duck sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and Chinese hot mustard. They also go well with sweet chili sauce, creamy crab rangoon dip, or even a spicy aioli.
Store cooled wonton chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. They may lose some of their initial crispness over time.
This is almost always due to the oil temperature being too low. When the oil isn't hot enough, the wrappers absorb oil instead of quickly crisping up. Ensure your oil is at 350°F (175°C) before adding the chips.
