1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, chopped parsley, chopped basil, and lemon zest until smooth and evenly combined.

3. Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.

4. Dampen the edges of each wrapper with a little water, then fold into triangles or bring the corners up and pinch firmly to seal, pressing out any air.

5. Arrange the wontons on the prepared baking sheet and brush their tops lightly with the olive oil.

6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the wontons are golden brown and crisp.

7. While the wontons bake, combine the brown sugar, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.

8. Serve the wontons warm with the sweet and spicy sriracha sauce for dipping.
