Ingredients
  

Core Ingredients
  • 36 pieces wonton wrappers one standard 12 oz / 340g package provides plenty
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or olive oil for a lighter version)
  • 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 2.5 oz / 70g) — freshly grated works best
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or dried rosemary, thyme, or oregano)
  • 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt or kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • Cooking spray or extra butter for greasing the baking sheet
Optional Flavor Boosters
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (for a subtle warmth and color)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat lovers)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary (pressed lightly onto the surface before baking)
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (swap for the Italian seasoning)
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated Pecorino Romano (mixed with the Parmesan for extra sharpness)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a separate bowl or measure out olive oil.
  4. Arrange wonton wrappers in a single layer on the baking sheets.
Baking
  1. Brush cooled wonton wrappers evenly with melted butter.
  2. Sprinkle mixed seasonings and Parmesan evenly over each wrapper.
  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, closely monitoring after 9 minutes until they turn deep golden brown.
  4. Transfer baked crackers to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
  1. Serve alongside your favorite dips or as a topping for soups or salads.
  2. Store cooled crackers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Notes

For extra crispy crackers, avoid overlapping the wrappers and watch carefully after 9 minutes of baking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for maximum crunch.
