# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • Golden & Crisp: The pre-baked wonton shells provide a perfectly flaky and delicate crunch.
  • Vegetarian-Friendly: A satisfying meat-free option that doesn't compromise on bold, savory flavors.
  • Quick Prep: With only 35 minutes from start to finish, it's an ideal last-minute entertaining solution.
02 -
  • Check the Wrappers: Wontons can brown very quickly, so keep a close eye on the oven during the final minutes of baking.
  • Drain Well: If using frozen spinach, removing all liquid is crucial to prevent the bottom of the cups from becoming soggy.
  • Grease the Tin: A light coating of oil helps the delicate pastry release without breaking.
