Egg rolls come out blistered and crunchy, close to takeout, with no pot of oil to deal with afterwards. A light spray of oil gives them a bit more color and crackle.
Ingredients
Quantities for 4 rolls - the times on this page assume that much in the basket.
- 4 frozen egg rolls, straight from the freezer
- A light spray of oil
How to air fry frozen egg rolls
- Nothing to thaw. Give them a light spray of oil as they go in - that is what blisters the wrapper instead of leaving it pale.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Add the frozen egg rolls to the basket. Arrange them so they don't touch.
- Cook for about 12 minutes, turning them once halfway through.
Pro tip
Lightly brush with oil for a deep-fried texture.
How to tell when it's done
Look for an evenly golden, crisp wrapper and a hot middle, turning them once. If they're browning before the filling's hot, the temperature's a touch high.
Converting from an oven recipe
If your recipe is written for a conventional oven, lower the temperature by about 25°F (15°C) and reduce the time by roughly 20% to land near 375°F for 12 minutes. Need a different starting point? Use the conversion calculator.
