Equipment
Ingredients
- 2-4 frozen vegetable egg rolls (*I used Whole Foods brand; see notes below regarding a gluten-free option)
- non-aerosol, propellant-free avocado oil (can use non-aerosol, propellant-free olive oil if preferred)
- optional: dipping sauce such as tamari/soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, duck sauce, sweet and sour sauce
Instructions
- If your air fryer has a separate elevated crisping tray or plate, be sure to insert it. Lightly grease the crisper plate or bottom of the air fryer basket with the avocado or olive oil spray.
- Place egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer so that they are not overlapping. Lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls with the avocado or olive oil spray.
- Air fry at 375° F for 6 minutes. Carefully flip each egg roll using tongs. Continue to air fry for another 5-9 minutes until golden brown. Note that two egg rolls will take about 11-12 minutes total while four will take closer to 15 minutes.
- Allow egg rolls to sit for about 2-3 minutes before eating.

Notes
*Check ingredient labels to ensure the egg rolls are vegetarian. Some brands, such as Whole Foods, are made without egg if you are looking for a vegan option.
For a gluten-free version, I recommend the Feel Good Foods brand. Air fry for 5 minutes at 375° F, flip and air fry for 5-7 more minutes.
I used a 5.5 qt. Ninja air fryer. If your model does not have a temperature setting for 375° F, set it to 380° F.
Keep the egg rolls frozen until ready to use. Do not thaw.
Be sure to use a non-aerosol, propellant-free oil spray to avoid damaging your air fryer's non-stick finish. You can also use a spritzer bottle and fill it with your own oil.
Timing was based on a non-preheated air fryer. If you preheat your air fryer, cooking time will decrease by 2-3 minutes.
