Ingredients
- Egg Rolls: This recipe works for most brands of egg rolls including Chung’s Frozen Egg Rolls, Pagoda Frozen Egg Rolls, Van’s Frozen Egg Rolls, Tai Pei Frozen Egg Rolls and Costco Frozen Egg Rolls. Buffalo chicken egg rolls, vegetable, pork and chicken egg rolls also work well.
- Cooking Spray: Be sure to use an air fryer safe cooking spray. Certain sprays with aerosol are not recommended as they can harm the air fryer basket coating. I prefer using an oil spray mister that I fill with my own oil of choice. It’s a great cost effective option.

How to Air Fry Frozen Egg Rolls
- Preheat air fryer to 350°
- Optional: Lightly spray air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Place frozen egg rolls in fryer basket. Do not overfill basket.
- Cook for approximately 8 minutes on 350°
- Flip egg rolls and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Depending on your air fryer, the size of your fryer basket and amount of frozen egg rolls in the basket, you can shake the basket and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until you reach your desired level of crispness as needed.
Pre-Heating Air Fryer: I recommend pre-heating air fryer. However, if you choose not to pre-heat, add about 3-4 minutes to your cook time.
Check for crispiness at the end of your cook time and add additional cook time as needed until your egg rolls reach desired level of crispiness.
Frozen Spring Rolls in Air Fryer: You can also cook frozen spring rolls or air fryer frozen lumpia in the air fryer but because spring rolls are small than egg rolls, you will need to reduce your cooking time.
Start with 4 minutes and check every minute after until they reach your desired crispiness.
