Banana-Nutella Wontons
with powdered sugar
This sweet take on wontons combines bananas and chocolate hazelnut spread in a crisp little pocket that gives off state-fair-funnel-cake vibes on a weeknight, minus the heat and crowds. Resist the urge to overfill these! A half-teaspoon and a thin slice of banana may not feel like enough filling, but you need room to create a good seal or you risk a mess of chocolate and banana oozing into your frying oil.

Make
-
Lay half of the wonton wrappers out in a single layer on your work surface. Place ½ teaspoon chocolate hazelnut spread and one banana slice on the center of each wonton.
-
Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with egg white and fold corner to corner, creating a triangle-shaped pocket. Seal the wonton by pressing firmly with your fingertips around the edges, working out any air bubbles as you seal. Place filled wontons in a single layer on a baking sheet.
-
Repeat steps 1 and 2 with remaining wonton wrappers.
-
Freeze filled wontons for about 15 minutes to firm them up slightly before frying.
-
While wontons freeze, heat several inches of oil in a 4-quart pot to about 325F. Fry the wontons in batches until golden on each side, until deeply golden and crisp. Drain excess oil on a cooling rack or on a paper towel-lined plate.
-
Serve wontons warm, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with chocolate hazelnut spread (if desired). Enjoy!
