These Crispy Air Fryer Spring Rolls are a lighter, healthier twist on the classic appetizer, delivering golden, crunchy wrappers and flavorful fillings without deep frying. Perfect for parties, snacks, or easy dinners, they’re endlessly customizable with vegetables, chicken, or shrimp.

Ingredients

  • For the Filling:
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 cups shredded cabbage
    • 1 cup shredded carrots
    • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 12 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For Assembly:
    • 12 spring roll wrappers (8×8 or 10×10 inches, wheat-based)
    • Olive oil or neutral cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Sauté garlic, cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms until just softened.
  2. Season with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Place a wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon filling near the bottom corner.
  4. Fold the corner over filling, fold in sides, and roll tightly. Seal edge with a dab of water.
  5. Brush or spray rolls lightly with oil. Arrange in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  6. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  7. Serve hot with dipping sauce of choice.

Notes

  • Variations: Make vegan with all vegetables, or add cooked ground chicken or shrimp. Add bean sprouts, water chestnuts, or green onions for extra texture. Stir in chili flakes or sriracha for heat.
  • Storage: Refrigerate up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes. Freeze uncooked rolls on a baking sheet, then store in a freezer bag for longer storage.
  • Baking Option: Bake at 400°F for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway.
