Air fryer Nutella wontons were one of those quick desserts I thought couldn’t go wrong, until my first batch burst open and turned messy instead of crisp. I wanted that delicate crunch with a smooth, melty center. After testing this three ways, I discovered that sealing tightly and using just the right amount of filling made all the difference. Then I cracked the code with a light spray and flip halfway. Now they come out perfectly golden, crisp, and irresistibly gooey inside.
