How to Cook Frozen Egg Rolls in the Air Fryer

Air fried frozen eggs rolls (or frozen spring rolls!) are the perfect snack or appetizer. Quick to prepare, deliciously crispy, and a low-oil alternative to the deep fried version!

Frozen egg rolls or spring rolls are one of my favorite snacks and also make a great appetizers or party finger foods. I always have a pack or two in the freezer in case of an appetizer emergency. And the great thing about air frying them is that they cook so fast you can whip them up on shoty notice.

Plus the hot air gets the egg roll wrappers super crispy without needing loads of extra oil. 

Step-by-step instructions

• Step 1: Preheat air fryer to 390F/180C. This step is not required for all air fryers. However, I usually preheat mine when air frying frozen snacks (even though my brand doesn’t require preheating), because the cooking time is short so you don’t want to use up 2-3 minutes of that with the air fryer not up to temperature. 
• Step 2: Place the frozen egg rolls or spring rolls in the air fryer basket or tray in a single layer. It doesnt matter if they are slightly touching, but try not to jam them in there as the hot air needs to be able to circulate all around them to get them really crispy. An overcrowded basket can lead to unevenly cooked rolls. No oil spray is needed, but if you want extra crispy egg rolls, you can add a spritz or two of olive oil. 
• Step 3: Air fry egg rolls for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Some air fryer brands require food to be flipped during cooking (if you are unsure check your manual), and flip the egg rolls halfway through the cooking time if needed. If you are cooking mini egg rolls then halve the cooking time. 
• Step 4: Serve with sauce for dipping. I like sweet chili or plain soy sauce, but any Chinese dipping sauces will be great, try: sweet and sour sauce, Hoisin duck sauce, plum sauce, garlic chili sauce are also great with egg rolls and spring rolls.
