Where can I buy vegan wonton wrappers?

Most large-chain grocery stores now carry vegan-friendly wonton wrappers. Check the refrigerated section, near the tofu or other health foods. Some stores also carry wonton wrappers in the freezer section, near the pastry dough. The brand we use, Twin Dragon, should be available for purchase at Walmart and other mainstream grocery stores.

Can I make this appetizer in advance?

This appetizer is best served warm fresh from the oven. If you were to prepare them in advance, the wonton cups won't be nearly as crispy and the filling won't be as creamy. If desired, you can prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to fill the wonton cups.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Most wonton wrappers are made with wheat, so this delicious appetizer is likely unsuitable for gluten-free diets. If you are able to find gluten-free and vegan wonton wrappers, then this recipe will be gluten-free friendly! Otherwise, check out our gluten-free recipes !

Instructions

Cook the bacon (if using). In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Once hot, add the chopped vegan bacon and cook until the bacon begins to crisp up, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Press the wonton wrappers into muffin tin cups. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush both sides of the wonton wrapper with vegan butter. Place each wrapper into a muffin tin cup and press it down and against the sides to form a cup. Repeat with all 12 wonton wrappers.
Bake. Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove it and set it aside.
Prepare the jalapeño popper filling. While the wonton cups bake, make the filling. Into a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened vegan cream cheese, vegan cheddar cheese shreds, diced jalapeños, and vegan bacon bits, if using. Stir the ingredients together until well combined.
Fill the wonton cups. Once the wontons have baked, evenly spoon the cream cheese mixture into each cup. Sprinkle each jalapeño popper bite with additional cheddar cheese and bake for another 8 minutes.
Serve. Vegan jalapeño popper wonton cups are best served while warm and creamy with additional vegan bacon, sour cream, and chives. Enjoy!
