Tips on How to Roll Egg Rolls:

  • It all starts with a great wrapper. Best ones are normally packaged as “spring roll” or “pastry wrappers. These can be found at Asian supermarkets, some specialty market or usually in the refrigerated section of grocery stores.
  • These “spring roll or pastry wrappers” are thinner than most egg roll wrappers found at traditional super markets, which are thicker. The texture of the ones in the photo below are light and crispy, rather than thick and doughy.  You can certainly use the thicker  “egg roll wrappers”, just make sure to cook them a little longer so they cook all the way through.
  • Smaller sized wrappers: We like using the smaller sized wrappers because because the egg rolls will cook quicker and crisper in the air fryer. The more layers of wrappers you have in your roll, the more chances of having the inside layers still raw because the air fryer can’t cook through all the layers. If you use the larger wrappers, then try to roll larger egg rolls so that you have less interior layers of wrapper that go un-cooked.

  • Air Fry at 380°F/195°C for about 12-16 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the wrapper is crispy and browned. If you use the larger wrapper cook a little longer so that all the layers can cook through to avoid being tough and chewy.

If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
