Air Fryer Egg Rolls Ingredients

How do I make frozen egg rolls in the air fryer?
This is a very simple process that requires only an air fryer.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 1 minute.
- Lightly spray the fryer basket or rack with oil. Arrange egg rolls in a single layer with space around each for airflow. Spray the egg rolls lightly if you want an extra golden crust.
- Cook for 14 minutes total, flipping or shaking the basket halfway through so all sides brown evenly. Let rest 1–2 minutes before serving.
How long to air fry frozen egg rolls?
After preheating to 350°F, air fry frozen egg rolls for about 14 minutes, flipping once at the halfway point. That timing produces a crunchy exterior and fully heated filling.
