Air fryer frozen egg rolls are slightly healthier than deep-frying yet still give you that satisfying crunch in an easy and quick way!
A take-out order from the local Chinese or Vietnamese restaurant is not complete without an extra order of egg rolls. But these days, you can find pretty good egg rolls in the frozen food aisle, too.
That being said, nothing beats the savory flavors of a freshly made egg roll. This craving is what led me to create my homemade air fryer egg rolls. Although they are a little bit more work than the other recipes you might find here, they are so worth it.
How to Make Air Fryer Frozen Egg Rolls
- Add a single layer of egg rolls to the air fryer basket. Leave space between each egg roll to allow even cooking. Close the tray/lid.
- Set the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and the timer to 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, flip, and set the temperature to 390 degrees Fahrenheit to get the outside nice and crispy. Set the timer for 5 minutes. Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
How to Reheat Egg Rolls in an Air Fryer
Reheating egg rolls goes in the same way as heating frozen egg rolls. The only thing that changes is the cooking time. Usually, all you need is 1-3 minutes if they have already been cooked before.
The Best Sweet and Sour Sauce for Egg Rolls
I feel like this could be a hot debate. What is the best sweet and sour sauce you have ever tasted?
A lot of people are worried about the additional salt and sugar in the pre-made sauces. I say if you're going to indulge, go all the way.
Try this homemade sweet and sour sauce if you want to get a feel for the ingredients. Or, if you are really minding the sugar, go for this sugar-free sweet and sour sauce.
