How to Make Delicious Air Fryer Egg Rolls
Making egg rolls in an air fryer is unbelievably easy! First, you’ll want to mix up your choice of filling (more options below!). Then, you roll it up in egg roll wrappers. Finally, give them a spray with your cooking oil of choice, such as avocado or olive oil.
Once they’re prepared, put them into the air fryer basket, turn on the machine, and get your favorite dipping sauce ready!
The technique for achieving crispy air fryer egg rolls is simple, but here are a few quick tips:
- Avoid overcrowding. Working in batches is ideal so the egg rolls can evenly cook.
- Don’t skip spraying your egg rolls with oil! This crucial step ensures even crispness and a delightful golden-brown color.
- Keep an eye on your egg rolls so they don’t burn, and adjust time according to your preference.
In only about 12 minutes, you can dip and dunk into crispy egg rolls loaded with juicy flavor. Best of all? It’s not necessary to cook the ground chicken, turkey, or pork beforehand!
Here are some other helpful tips for making air fryer egg rolls:
- Make sure to seal the edges of your egg rolls tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
- To prevent sticking, lightly grease the air fryer basket before placing the egg rolls inside.
- For even cooking, flip the egg rolls halfway through the cooking time.
- Adjust cooking time according to your desired level of crispness.
