Print Recipe

Delicate, crispy wontons filled with creamy pumpkin and fragrant sage, topped with a decadent drizzle of nutty brown butter. Perfect for fall gatherings or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup (120g) ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup (30g) grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter
  • Fresh sage leaves

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, grated parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  2. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
  3. Use a pastry brush or your finger to moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets around the filling.
  4. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of wonton wrapper—it should sizzle gently.
  5. Working in batches, place the wontons in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. In a separate pan, melt unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 3-5 minutes. Add a few fresh sage leaves to the butter for extra flavor.
  7. Arrange the fried wontons on a serving platter and drizzle with the brown butter sauce. Garnish with additional sage leaves if desired.

Notes

[‘Don’t overfill the wonton wrappers to prevent bursting during frying.’, ‘Seal the edges tightly to avoid filling leakage.’, ‘Cover wonton wrappers with a damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.’, ‘Keep a close eye on the butter while browning to avoid burning.’, ‘Fry wontons in small batches to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.’]
