Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Wonton Wrappers: You can find these in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores; choose square ones for easy folding.
- Fresh Spinach: Opt for vibrant green spinach leaves; fresh is best but frozen works in a pinch.
- Canned Artichokes: Drain and chop them finely; they add a unique tangy flavor to the filling.
- Cream Cheese: Use softened cream cheese for easy mixing; it creates that creamy texture we all love.
- Garlic Powder: This adds depth to the filling; fresh garlic works too if you prefer more bite.
- Grated Parmesan Cheese: For that cheesy goodness; freshly grated cheese melts beautifully compared to pre-grated versions.
- Olive Oil: A drizzle helps achieve that golden-brown crispy finish when baking or frying.
- Sour Cream (optional): Serve on the side for dipping; it adds creaminess and balances flavors nicely.

Let’s Make it together
Prepping these delightful Spinach Artichoke Wontons is easier than you might think. Let’s dive right into the process!
Prepare the Filling: First, gather your ingredients. In a large bowl, combine chopped spinach (make sure it’s squeezed dry), chopped artichokes, cream cheese, garlic powder, and grated parmesan until fully blended.
Assemble the Wontons: Take one wonton wrapper at a time and place about one tablespoon of filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water using your finger to help seal them tightly.
Seal it Up!: Fold the wrapper over diagonally to form a triangle. Press down on the edges firmly to seal them well. Ensure there are no air pockets inside for optimal crispness.
Cooking Time!: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange sealed wontons on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each one lightly with olive oil for an extra crispy finish.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. The aroma will fill your kitchen like an Italian restaurant—so inviting!
