Wonton Pizza Crisps

Yesterday I was looking for a quick and easy snack.  I wasn't craving vegetables or hummus. I didn't want something sweet.  I wanted PIZZA.  Not the healthiest snack choice, I know, but everything in moderation, am I right?
Well I knew I wasn't hungry enough for an actual pizza pie but I still needed to get my pepperoni and cheesy fix.  That's when I spotted some leftover wonton wrappers in the fridge.  BINGO!!  Wonton Pizza Crisps. 
Wonton wrappers are awesome.  You can use them to make wontons (of course), raviolis, pierogies, mini-lasagnas, chips and crusts.  You can steam them, fry them, boil them and bake them.  What can't wonton wrappers do?
The wonton wrappers make a perfect "thin crust" for this pizza snack. I mixed the shredded mozzarella with some Italian seasoning to heighten the pizza flavor.  AND... who can have pizza without pepperoni??  Not me!  I ended up with crispy, melty and spicy bites that satisfied my pizza cravings.

WONTON PIZZA CRISPS
Makes 12 crisps

Ingredients
  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • non-stick cooking spray
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 12 pepperoni slices
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
  2. Coat a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange wonton wrappers on sheet, making sure the wrappers don't touch. Spray wonton wrappers with a coating of non-sticking cooking spray.
  3. In a small bowl, combine cheese and seasoning.  Sprinkle cheese over the wonton wrappers.  Place pepperoni slices on each wrapper.  Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until wontons are crispy and cheese is melted and golden.  Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.  Enjoy!

  6. So I just did the calculations for the ones I made...I cut the large wontons into fourths so it made 12 crisps at only 400 calories! Yay

  7. Wonton wrappers make great noodles too for a quick soup-just cut in the thickness you want.

  8. Found this on "The Pin" - thanks for reminding me of something my mom used to to do with wrappers. Totally forgot about her "inventions". Lovely memory.
