5. Place wonton wrappers on prepared baking sheet so wontons become saturated with oil. Place 1 tablespoon ricotta mixture onto center of each wrapper. Dip a finger into water and use it to moisten edges of wrapper; fold over one corner of wrapper to make a triangle and press sides together to create a seal (click here to see a video demonstration of this technique). If desired, create decorative lines along edges of wontons by pressing tines of a fork along bottom edge of each wonton.

Amazing! So good and so easy to make! Once you try cooking with Wonton wrappers, you'll be hooked! You can do so much with them! May I also suggest WW cream cheese (or LOW fat if you can't find the WW brand) and chopped chives for a low-fat cream cheese wonton? Super good when you're craving Asian take-out!
