Cook’s Tips
- Don’t omit the sweetener! Adding a bit of sweetness is what makes this taste like crab rangoon instead of just crab dip. Start by using a couple tablespoons of sweetener and taste before sprinkling cheese on top and baking. Add more if you like!
- For crab rangoon dip with fewer carbs, skip the wonton chips and use erythritol instead of sugar. Use veggies or low carb chips to dip, and you’ll end up with about 3g net carbs per serving!
- For gluten free dip, make sure your Worcestershire sauce doesn’t contain gluten. You can use gluten free wonton wrappers or skip that part and use gluten free chips or veggies to dip.

My family really liked this dish. It is lacking something though, when it comes to tasting just like the insides of a crab Rangoon, but I can’t put my finger on it! Very easy to make.
Thanks for your feedback, Lisa!
great recipe, love all of these flavors, and wonton wrappers are a very creative idea too, a really nice Thanksgiving pre-serving or whenever, thank you!
Yay, we are so glad you love this recipe!
I’d you are not a fan of green onions can it be substituted with something else?
The green onions are definitely optional for this recipe as we used them for garnishment :). Although we really think the green onions enhance the recipe, we think they can be left out!
So glad you love it, Dorothy!
I am doing keto and have found this to be a very DELISH DISH. Thank you.
