The main thing to remember is NOT to overfill the air fryer basket. Make sure there's lots of room between the spring rolls so that every side of the spring roll is exposed to the hot air.

Putting too many in the air fryer at once will make them soggy and may mean they don't cook evenly.

1. air fryer
2. tongs

🥫 Leftover love: how to store and reheat

Don't refreeze the spring rolls once they're heated up. If you happen to have leftovers put them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and plan to eat them within a day or 2.

Just reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to revive that crispy exterior!

💭 Insider tips: things to know

1. To ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior, preheat your air fryer before adding the spring rolls.
2. If you are cooking a lot of spring rolls in your air fryer you may need to cook in several batches.
3. Different air fryers may heat differently. Always check for doneness at the earliest time.

5. Spring rolls are done when the outside is crispy, and the interior reaches a temperature of 165F on an instant-read thermometer.

Ingredients

• ▢ 16 frozen spring rolls, no need to thaw
• ▢ vegetable oil, optional for brushing the rolls
• ▢ No-stick cooking spray

Instructions

• Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures that the spring rolls will cook evenly and become crispy.
• While the air fryer is preheating, take the frozen spring rolls out of the packaging and arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure there is some space between each spring roll for proper air circulation.
• For an extra crispy finish, you can lightly spray or brush the spring rolls with cooking oil. This step is optional but can enhance the texture of the spring rolls.
• Once the air fryer is preheated, place the basket with the spring rolls into the air fryer and cook them at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes.
• Halfway through the cooking time (around 5-6 minutes), pause the air fryer and flip the spring rolls using tongs to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
• After the total cooking time, check the spring rolls for doneness. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, with the filling heated through.
• Once the spring rolls are cooked to perfection, carefully remove them from the air fryer basket and transfer them to a serving plate.
