    About Frozen Spring Rolls In Air Fryer

    Cooking Frozen Spring Rolls in Air Fryer is one of the best ways to cook Chinese spring rolls. No mess, no clean-up, and the method use very little oil as compared to deep frying them.

    No excess oil means that the Air Fried Frozen Spring Rolls are healthier than the deep-fried ones!

    This air fryer method will give you perfectly golden brown and crispy spring rolls (egg rolls) from the freezer to the plate in under 20 minutes.

    The only difference between air-fried frozen spring rolls and deep-fried spring rolls is the color. The deep-fried ones are darker in color than the air-fried ones but the crispness of both is comparable.

    Serve them as a snack or a delicious appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce for birthday parties, game nights, movie nights, house parties, or a simple Chinese meal.

    You can also make your other favorite frozen foods like frozen French fries or tater tots etc in the air fryer too.

    Ingredients

    Air fryer frozen spring rolls ingredients.

    Frozen Spring Rolls (Egg Rolls) – You can get any brand’s spring rolls from the frozen section of your grocery store. Vegetable spring rolls, chicken spring rolls, ground pork spring rolls, or any other will do.

    Chung’s gourmet foods vegetable spring rolls and Trader Joe’s chicken spring rolls are my personal top favorites.

    You can also choose between mini spring rolls or large spring rolls. The time of cooking will differ though.

    You can also make my Homemade Spring Rolls and freeze them. Just air fry whenever you want to serve.

    Oil – Any neutral oil like light olive oil, rapeseed oil, vegetable oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, etc would do. You can also use a cooking oil spray.

    How To Make Frozen Spring Rolls In Air Fryer

    Remove the frozen spring rolls (egg rolls) from the packaging and place them into the air fryer basket in a single layer.

    Note – There is no need to thaw the rolls.

    Brush the spring rolls with cooking oil. You can also spray cooking oil over them.

    Place the basket in the air fryer and fry for 7 minutes at 360°F (180°C).

    Air fried for 7 minutes.

    After 7 minutes, bring out the air fryer tray and flip the spring rolls using a pair of tongs.

    Brush or spray with oil on the other side as well.

    Place the basket back in the fryer and air fry for 7 more minutes.

    If you like your spring rolls extra crispy, then air fry them for another 2-4 minutes.

    Crispy air fryer spring rolls are ready. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

    Pro Tips By Neha

    Every air fryer model is different, so you may have to adjust the time accordingly. Start with 7 + 7 minutes of cook time, and then increase the cooking time if they are still not crispy or warm through.

    The cooking time will be different for different-sized egg rolls. Adjust it accordingly too.

    Always cook in a single layer, so that the spring rolls cook evenly. Layering will give you soggy spring rolls. If you want to cook more, then do that in batches.

    I never pre-heat the air fryer and my spring rolls turn perfectly fine every time.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to thaw the frozen spring rolls before air frying?

    No, there is no need to thaw them. Directly place them from the freezer in the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry until crisp.

    Why are my air fryer egg rolls not cooked through?

    If your spring rolls are not cooked through, there might be a few reasons for it, such as,
    – The air fryer was overcrowded and the spring rolls were not placed in a single layer.
    – You didn’t turn the spring rolls halfway (after 7 minutes).
    – You didn’t adjust the time according to your air fryer.
    – Large spring rolls might take more time as compared to mini egg rolls. So keep that in consideration too.

    Should I preheat the air fryer?

    I never preheat my air fryer and my spring rolls turn out perfectly cooked and crispy.

    How to cook frozen spring rolls without an air fryer?

    If you do not own an air fryer, then you can either bake them in a conventional oven or deep fry them. To bake, place them in a baking tray in a single layer, brush with oil, and bake at 200 degrees C for about 20 minutes. Flip once midway and brush oil on the other side as well.
    To deep-fry, heat oil in a pan, and once it is hot enough, drop the spring rolls. Deep fry until golden brown and crisp.

    Serving Suggestions

    These delicious air fryer frozen egg rolls would taste great with a dipping sauce such as Thai Sweet Chili Sauce, Yum Yum Sauce, Bang Bang Sauce, Gyoza Dipping Sauce, Peanut Sauce, or any spicy sauce or dip of your choice. Serve them as an easy appetizer or a quick snack for the whole family.

    I like to mix a little fish sauce in dark soy sauce and serve it as a dip with this great appetizer.

    Storage Suggestions

    Serve these delicious spring rolls right out of the air fryer, hot and crispy. They tend to get soft if not consumed immediately and don’t taste as good as the hot crispy ones.

    The leftover spring rolls can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

    You can reheat them in an air fryer or an oven. Do not microwave, otherwise, you will lose the crispiness.

    In An Oven – Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the spring rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until heated through. Enjoy!

    In An Air Fryer – To reheat the spring rolls in an air fryer, preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, place the spring rolls on the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 3-4 minutes until heated through.

    In A Pan – To reheat the spring rolls in a pan, heat up some oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add the spring rolls to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes per side or until heated through and slightly crispy.
