The Best air fryer egg roll recipe

I love making air fryer egg rolls because they are so much easier than deep frying. My kids go crazy for them, and I feel good serving them because they are not greasy at all. This recipe is perfect for weeknight dinners or when we have friends over for a game day snack. The air fryer gives them that crispy texture without all the extra oil, so they are a healthier choice for my family. We usually make a big batch and they disappear in minutes.

🥘Ingredients

For the Filling

1 pound ground pork

3 cups shredded cabbage

1 cup shredded carrots

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Egg Rolls

1 package egg roll wrappers (about 20 wrappers)

1 egg, beaten (for sealing)

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned. Drain any excess fat.

2Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Let the mixture cool slightly.

3Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.

4Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll the wrapper tightly toward the top corner. Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

5Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

6Place the egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Spray the tops with cooking spray.

7Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy.

8Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
