Ingredients
- 4–8 frozen egg rolls, depending on the size of your air fryer basket.
- Recommended brands: Tai Pei, Chung’s, Minh, Pagoda.
Olive Oil Spray (Optional Ingredient):
- Lightly mist the egg rolls to enhance crispiness.
- Avoid regular cooking spray to prevent damage to the air fryer basket.
Dipping Sauces (Optional):
- Sweet and Sour Sauce
- Hoisin Sauce
- Sriracha Mayo
- Soy Sauce
- Peanut Sauce
Instructions
1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 380°F. Preheating ensures the egg rolls cook evenly from the moment you put them in.
2. Prepare the Egg Rolls: Place 4-8 frozen egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overlapping to allow even cooking.
3. Lightly Spray with Oil (Optional): For extra crispiness, lightly spray the egg rolls with olive oil. This step is optional but recommended for a crunchier texture.
4. Set the Air Fryer Temperature and Cooking Time: Cook the frozen egg rolls in the air fryer at 380°F for 8-12 minutes. This temperature works well for most egg roll brands like Tai Pei, Chung’s, Minh, and Pagoda.
5. Flip the Egg Rolls: Halfway through the cooking time, around the 5-6 minute mark, flip the egg rolls. Flipping the egg rolls ensures they cook evenly and become crispy on all sides.
6. Check for Doneness: After 8 minutes, check the egg rolls. If they are not crispy enough, cook for an additional 2-4 minutes until they reach the desired level of crispiness.
7. Serve Immediately: Once done, carefully remove the egg rolls using tongs. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like sweet and sour, hoisin, or sriracha mayo.
Notes
Every air fryer model can vary slightly in cooking times. It’s important to keep an eye on the egg rolls the first time you make them to adjust cooking times as needed.
