These crispy air fryer egg rolls feature a fresh vegetable filling and deliver a perfect crunch without the grease of traditional frying. Quick and easy to make, they are a satisfying snack or appetizer for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for brushing
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage (green or Napa)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped bell peppers (red or yellow)
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional dipping sauces: sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, peanut dip

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, chopped bell peppers, and sliced green onions. Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Toss until well combined and slightly juicy but not soggy.
  2. Assemble the egg rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of filling near the corner closest to you. Fold the corner over the filling, tuck in the sides tightly, and roll up firmly, sealing the top corner with a dab of water. Cover wrappers with a damp cloth if they dry out. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  4. Lightly brush or spray each egg roll with vegetable oil. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket without touching. Cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook another 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the egg rolls carefully and let them cool for a minute or two before serving with your choice of dipping sauce.

Notes

If the filling is too wet, lightly sauté it in a nonstick pan before filling to reduce moisture. Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent bursting during cooking. Pat veggies dry if too wet to ensure crispiness. Cook egg rolls in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer. Let egg rolls rest a few minutes after cooking for better texture and flavor melding. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes.
