Ingredients

For The Street Corn Wontons

2 ears of Corn
6 Cloves Garlic
1 Tablespoon Olive oil
1/2 Cup Vegan feta, I used Follow Your Heart
1/4 Cup Cilantro
1/2 Teaspoon Lime zest
1/2 teaspoon Chili lime seasoning
1/4 Cup Vegan cream cheese, I used Kite Hill
Pinch of Salt and pepper
12-14 Vegan wonton wrappers, I used Nasoya
Vegetable oil for frying

For The Cilantro Lime Aioli

1/2 Cup Vegan mayonnaise , I used Hellman's
2 teaspoon Lime juice
2 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped
1/4 Cup Cilantro, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Chili lime seasoning
Pinch of Salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees(F).
Put the ears of corn and the garlic cloves on a sheet pan. Drizzle with the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat everything.
Roast the corn and garlic for 10 to 15 minutes or until the garlic is starting to brown and the corn has softened a bit and is also starting to brown.
Let the corn cool for a few minutes so you can handle it. Then cut the corn kernels off the cob. Set aside.
Now, add the garlic cloves you roasted as well as the vegan feta, cilantro, lime zest, chili lime seasoning, vegan cream cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth.
Then, add the corn kernels to the food processor and pulse a few times just to bring together and chop some of the corn, but you still want a lot of texture and most of the corn to be whole.
Put the mixture into the fridge and let chill for about 15 to 30 minutes or until the filling is cool and firm.
While the mixture cools, you can make the aioli. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together all of the aioli ingredients until fully combined. Then put that in the fridge as well until ready to serve.
Once the filling has chilled, make the wontons. Put about 2 to 3 teaspoons of filling in the center of a wonton square. Have the wonton wrapper placed on a surface like a diamond, then wet the top two sides. Then fold the wrapper over the filling into a triangle. Press the sides down to seal them.(You can watch the video if you want to see this process).
Repeat with all of the filling, making all the wontons.
Now, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil on medium high in a large non-stick skillet until tiny bubbles form. Fry the wontons on each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Reducing heat as needed.
If the wontons puff up and seem like they might explode, just pop the bubble with a toothpick or something small to let out the steam.
You can also air fry them. Spray the air fryer with a bit of non-stick spray, then fry at 400 degrees(F) for 3 minutes on each side.
Serve immediately with the aioli and sprinkle with a little more chili lime seasoning.
