One package of frozen egg rolls in an air fryer cooked to crisp perfection is a great snack or side dish that cooks in less than 15 minutes. So easy!
Air fryer frozen egg rolls are so tasty!
Learning how to air fry egg rolls is quicker than throwing them in the oven or deep frying, plus they become crispy brown with the perfect taste and texture.
There was a battle between frozen egg rolls and spring rolls growing up, and while spring rolls are fresh and tasty, I often went for the egg rolls. Maybe it's the golden brown texture or the mixture of goodness inside.
We love to air fry these since you get that deep fried texture without needing to add extra fat. Plus air frying is twice as fast as the oven.
Make a meal and serve them with cauliflower fried rice, stir fry veggies, or our 15 minute egg drop soup.

How do you reheat these in an air fryer?
If you have leftover egg rolls and want to reheat them in your air fryer, preheat the air fryer basket or oven to 400F and air fry them for 1-2 minutes until heated through. There's no need to flip the egg rolls during heating. You could just skip preheating and just cook for an extra minute or two.

Air Fryer Egg Rolls (Frozen)
Ingredients
- 1 pkg of frozen egg rolls
- Optional dipping sauce-soy sauce wheat-free tamari, sweet and sour sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes on 400 F.
- Lay the egg rolls in a single layer, leaving space around them for the best results. Do not stack them on top of each other, as they won't turn out as crisp.
- Air fry them on 400 F for 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. Serve with your favorite sauce on the side!
Notes
- Leftovers will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge.
- Space the frozen egg rolls out so they brown nicely in the air fryer.
- Check the cooking time and temp of some of our other air fryer frozen snacks and if you have a large model, you can probably cook them at the same time.
