One package of frozen egg rolls in an air fryer cooked to crisp perfection is a great snack or side dish dinner idea that cooks in less than 15 minutes. It’s quicker than throwing them in the oven, has an even better texture, and still holds the authentic flavors.

There was a battle between egg rolls and spring rolls growing up, and while spring rolls are fresh and tasty, I always went for the egg rolls. Maybe it’s the golden brown texture or the mixture of goodness inside. Getting that deep fried texture without the added fat is a perfect reason to be cooking frozen egg rolls in the air fryer. 

What is an egg roll?

If you don’t already know, an egg roll is a savory deep-fried appetizer with shredded cabbage, typically pork or chicken, and other veggies inside. It does NOT contain egg, oddly enough. 

Because of that, you can make or buy them vegetarian or vegan by taking the meat out but make sure to check all the ingredients beforehand. You can also buy rice paper wraps to make them gluten-free, and if you’re feeling adventurous there are coconut gluten-free wraps.

Trader Joes and Whole Foods brands of frozen egg rolls have no artificial ingredients if you’re looking for the original tasting egg roll but a little healthier.

There are gluten-free options with brands such as Feel Good Foods, as well as low-carb options so keep an eye out for those. 

I know it’s a long list of ingredients so bear with us 😉

Recipe Steps

Frozen egg rolls in an air fryer are super duper easy to make. All you have to do is set your cooking time. If you want to make a sauce to go with while you wait, here is a tasty sweet and sour sauce recipe!

Temperature

Preheat air fryer to 400F. You might have to manually turn your model on and let it preheat for 3-5 minutes.

It’s ok to add oil or cooking spray if you have an aluminum air fryer basket, but if it’s non-stick do NOT use cooking spray. Cooking sprays ruin the finish and will make the food in the non-stick basket STICK.

Lay them in a single layer, leaving space around them for the best results. Do not stack the egg rolls on top of each other, as they won’t turn out as crisp.

Cooking time

Set the air fryer to a cook time of 12-14 minutes, flipping after 8 minutes.

Keep an eye on the crispness level, various units have different levels of power and could take a little less time, or even a little bit more. 

Recipe Tips

  • You can use the same method as your frozen egg rolls in an air fryer but with spring rolls if you prefer!
  • Add a dipping sauce for serving. They don’t take long to make and it’ll be worth having a little something extra.
  • There are other air fryer snacks to add at the same time for some variety on our website
  • If you have a non-stick air fryer basket, don’t use cooking spray. You CAN add a spritz if you have an aluminum air frying tray. 
  • We recommend starting with a preheated air fryer for consistent cooking times and also suggest to cook frozen foods from frozen and not to defrost them first.
  • Depending on the model type you have, some air fryers cook slower or faster than others. Check the cooking time of frozen foods and all foods at least a couple of minutes early.
  • We do not recommend following the recipe to cook homemade air fryer rolls, you should look for a specific recipe for fresh and homemade ones if that’s what you have on hand.

Common Questions

How to Store Air Fryer Egg Rolls?
