    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 Air Fryer Frozen Egg Rolls

    For delicious egg rolls with crispy skin, all you have to do is give them enough space in the air fryer basket. For my model and homemade egg rolls recipe, 6 pieces is the magic number.

    This leaves some space for the hot air to circulate all around which is exactly what prevents a soggy wrapper. For me, the best air fryer frozen egg rolls time and temp is 10 minutes at 350 degrees with a quick flip at the halfway mark.

    You can go the more traditional route with these Vietnamese egg rolls or go the opposite route way with cheesesteak egg rolls. And if you have an extra sweet tooth, try these surprisingly good strawberry cheesecake egg rolls.

    How to Reheat Egg Rolls in Air Fryer

    It is probably rare but every once in a while there are leftover egg rolls. I don’t know about you, but if they’re not close to burning your mouth, are they as good?

    Reheating egg rolls goes in the exact 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 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.

    Notes

    Note: This is the cooking time and temperature for egg rolls, not spring rolls which tend to be smaller, made with a thinner wrapper, and would likely need less cook time.
