This Air Fryer Egg Rolls comes together in about 30 minutes and utilizes the magic of the air fryer for a quick and easy weeknight dinner that your family will love!
Ingredients for the Best Air Fryer Egg Rolls
Let’s break down what you need to whip up these amazing egg rolls:
- 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken (or tofu for a vegetarian option)
- 1 cup shredded cabbage (any variety works!)
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots (whipping out a peeler is super fun!)
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (well, you can use low sodium if you want)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (this adds so much flavor!)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (fresh is even better if you have it!)
- 8 pieces egg roll wrappers (you can find them in the fridge section of your grocery store)
- Cooking spray (in a can works wonders for getting that crispiness)
- To taste: salt and pepper (just a couple pinches!)
Ingredient Notes:
- Shredded Chicken: This recipe is super versatile! Use up leftover roasted chicken, or go for rotisserie chicken to save time. Feeling extra fab? You can opt for tofu instead!
- Cabbage & Carrots: I love using a mix of whatever I have on hand, this way, it’s a bit of a clean-out-the-fridge situation.
- Egg Roll Wrappers: Make sure to keep them covered with a damp cloth while you fill them to prevent drying out!
How to Make Air Fryer Egg Rolls
Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken (or tofu), shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground ginger. Season it with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined. It should smell incredible, like a hint of savory goodness wafting through your kitchen! (About 5-7 minutes gives you ample time here!)
Wrap It Up: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and here’s the secret sauce to success: roll it tightly to seal the egg roll! Are you feeling fancy? Use a little water on your fingers to seal the edges if necessary. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes. You want it nice and hot, right?
Air Frying Time: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray, then carefully place the egg rolls in a single layer within the basket, making sure they’re not touching. (You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.) Give the tops a little spritz with cooking spray for that ultimate crispy finish. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden brown and just begging to be devoured!
Serve & Enjoy: Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Trust me, nobody needs burned fingers! Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces like sweet and sour or soy sauce. These egg rolls are not just good; they’re incredibly delicious!
