Air Fryer Frozen Egg Rolls

Cook frozen egg rolls straight from the freezer at 370°F for a crisp golden wrapper and a hot center, with an optional high-heat finish for extra crunch.
Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 14 minutes
Servings: 4 egg rolls
Course: Appetizer, Snack
Cuisine: Chinese-American

Ingredients
  

  • 4 frozen egg rolls regular or full-size; any filling
  • neutral oil spray optional, for extra crispness

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 370°F for 2 to 3 minutes if your model benefits from preheating.
  2. Keep the egg rolls frozen. Remove all outer packaging and arrange the egg rolls in a single layer with space between them.
  3. Lightly mist the wrappers with a neutral oil spray if you want extra crispness. This step is optional.
  4. Air fry at 370°F for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping carefully halfway through. Start checking about 2 minutes before the end because air fryers and egg roll sizes vary.
  5. If the centers are hot but the wrappers need more crunch, increase the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 1 to 2 additional minutes.
  6. Let the egg rolls rest for 1 to 2 minutes, then serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Follow the package directions for any product that requires a specific internal temperature or full cooking step.

Notes

Mini egg rolls usually cook faster than full-size rolls, so start checking around 6 to 8 minutes. Larger egg rolls may need 12 to 15 minutes. If the wrapper browns before the center is hot, reduce the temperature to about 350–360°F and continue in short intervals. Do not overcrowd the basket.
