Egg rolls are a popular appetizer or snack, and cooking them in the air fryer is a fantastic way to achieve a deliciously crispy exterior without the need for deep frying. In this recipe, we’ll guide you through the steps to make crispy frozen egg rolls using your air fryer.
1. Air Fryer Frozen Egg Rolls
Ingredients
- Frozen egg rolls
- Cooking spray or oil (optional)
- Dipping sauces of your choice (such as sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or chili sauce)
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Place the desired number of frozen egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even cooking and achieve maximum crispiness.
If desired, lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray or brush them with a small amount of oil. This step is optional but can help enhance the crispiness.
Place the basket in the air fryer and cook the egg rolls for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the egg rolls, as well as the desired level of crispness.
Keep an eye on the egg rolls during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent them from burning. You want them to be golden brown and crispy.
Once the egg rolls are cooked to your desired level of crispness, carefully remove them from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula.
Allow the egg rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving, as they will be very hot.
Serve the crispy air fryer egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauces, such as sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or chili sauce. They are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or as part of a larger meal.
Crispy air fryer frozen egg rolls are a convenient and delicious way to enjoy this classic appetizer. By following this recipe, you’ll achieve perfectly crispy egg rolls without the need for deep frying.
