Notes
- Baking instructions: Bake in a 350 preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Be sure to spray or brush with olive oil prior to baking.
- Air Fryer Instructions: preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F. Add the rangoons to the air fryer - you will likely need to work in batches. Spray with cooking spray and air fry for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- This recipe makes about 36 Crab Rangoons. Plan on 6 per person is serving as a main course, and 2-3 per person as an appetizer.
- To make ahead, fill and form the rangoons up to 24 hours in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge. I recommend using parchment or wax paper between the layers to keep them from sticking.
- Store leftover cooked rangoons can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To reheat leftovers, you can either air fry them at 350 degrees F for about 3-4 minutes or in the oven at 375 degrees F for 6-7 minutes. Reheat them until they are warmed through.
