Air Fryer Frozen Egg Rolls (Crispy Without Oil)

Cook Time 12 minutes
Pre-heat 5 minutes
Total Time 17 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • Frozen egg rolls (any brand; standard or mini)
  • Optional seasonings: garlic powder, chili flakes, or a pinch of salt
  • Optional sauces for serving: sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, spicy mayo, hoisin, or sriracha
  • Optional garnish: sliced green onions or sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 3–5 minutes. A preheated basket helps the wrappers crisp evenly.
  • Unwrap the egg rolls and keep them frozen. Do not thaw. Thawed egg rolls can burst or turn soggy.
  • Arrange in a single layer in the basket. Leave space between each roll so air can circulate. Avoid stacking.
  • Air fry at 370°F (188°C) for 10–12 minutes for standard-size egg rolls. Turn them halfway through at the 6-minute mark.
  • Check doneness: The exterior should be golden and crisp, and the center should be hot and steamy. If needed, cook 2–3 more minutes.
  • For mini egg rolls: Cook at 370°F (188°C) for 7–9 minutes, shaking or turning halfway through.
  • For extra crunch: Increase heat to 390°F (199°C) for the last 2 minutes. Watch closely to avoid over-browning.
  • Rest for 2 minutes before serving. This helps the shells set and prevents burns from the hot filling.
  • Serve with sauces and any garnish you like. Plate immediately for maximum crispness.
