Air Fryer Hack: Frozen Spring Rolls, Quick And Crispy!

Cooking frozen spring rolls in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to make a delicious snack. The process is simple: arrange the frozen spring rolls in a single layer in the air fryer, brush them with oil, and then cook at a high temperature for a short amount of time. The result is crispy, golden brown spring rolls that are perfect for dipping.

How to prep spring rolls for the air fryer

To prep spring rolls for the air fryer, start by arranging the frozen spring rolls in a single layer in your air fryer, making sure they are not touching. For a crisp, golden finish, brush each roll with a light coating of oil. If you don't have a brush, you can use cooking spray to coat the tops of the spring rolls.

If you are cooking a large batch of spring rolls, you may need to cook them in multiple batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. This will ensure that the spring rolls cook evenly and get crispy on all sides.

Different brands of frozen spring rolls may vary in size, so you may need to adjust the cooking time accordingly. For example, smaller spring rolls may only need 4 minutes on each side, while larger ones may require up to 10 minutes.

The best temperature to cook spring rolls

If you are cooking a large batch of spring rolls, you may need to cook them in multiple batches to ensure they cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between them for air to flow and for them to cook evenly.

You can brush the spring rolls with oil before cooking to ensure they are golden brown and delicious.

How long to cook spring rolls for

Cooking frozen spring rolls in an air fryer is a quick and easy process. The cooking time will depend on the temperature you set your air fryer to and how crispy you like your spring rolls.

If you want to cook your spring rolls at 400°F (204°C), you should cook them for 5 to 7 minutes. If you are cooking at 380°F/190°C, you will need to cook them for 8 to 10 minutes. If you are cooking at 400°F (200°C), you should cook them for 4 minutes, turn them, and then cook for another 4 minutes.

If you are cooking your spring rolls in the oven, you should preheat the oven to 425°F and cook them for 12 to 15 minutes.

It is important to note that you should not overcrowd the air fryer basket and that you should leave enough space between the spring rolls so that they cook evenly.

How to store leftover spring rolls

To cook frozen spring rolls in an air fryer, first arrange them in a single layer in the fryer, making sure they're not touching. For extra crispness, brush each roll with oil. Then, cook at 400°F (204°C) for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden and crispy. If you're using a toaster oven-style air fryer, you may need to adjust the cooking time.

Now, onto storing leftover spring rolls. To keep them fresh, it's important to wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap or foil before placing them in a airtight container in the fridge. This will prevent them from drying out or cracking. Make sure the spring rolls are completely cool before storing them, as storing them while they're still warm will cause them to release steam and become soggy. Spring rolls can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, according to some sources, while others suggest they should be eaten within 3 to 4 days for the best texture and flavour.
