How to Cook Air Fryer Frozen Spring Rolls

These spring rolls cook up in no time at all! All you need to make this recipe is your air fryer, non-stick cooking spray, and a package of frozen spring rolls.

First you will spray the air fryer basket lightly with the non-stick cooking spray or brush it lightly with some vegetable or olive oil.

Then place the spring rolls in the basket in a single layer. If you want to make more, do them in batches.

I was able to fit a whole package of 12 spring rolls in my air fryer.

Set the temperature to 360F for 10 minutes.

While waiting for the spring rolls to finish cooking, defrost your dipping sauce by holding the packets under hot tap water until they are warm. Pour into a small bowl.

Cooking Tips

Cut the spring rolls open to allow them to cool down slightly before serving to children.
For this recipe, you don’t need to worry about defrosting. Just put the spring rolls in the air fryer as they are.
Don’t forget to defrost the dipping sauce!

Here are some other great recipes to serve with your spring rolls:

Variations and Substitutions

Types of Spring Rolls: This recipe works with any frozen spring rolls—vegetable, chicken, shrimp, pork, or even special varieties like curry-flavored rolls. Pick your favorite or mix them up for variety.
Dipping Sauces: While the included sauce is convenient, you can also serve these with homemade sauces. Try a sweet chili sauce, a soy sauce and rice vinegar mix, or even spicy sriracha mayo for a unique twist.
Gluten-Free Option: If you’re avoiding gluten, look for frozen spring rolls made with rice paper wrappers. These cook beautifully in the air fryer, offering the same crispiness with a gluten-free spin.
Oil-Free Cooking: Skip the oil spray if you’re watching calories. The air fryer does an excellent job crisping the rolls even without oil, though they may be slightly less golden.
Make It a Meal: Transform these spring rolls into a full meal by serving them over a bed of fried rice or alongside stir-fried vegetables. Add a protein option, like grilled chicken or tofu, for a hearty dish.
Customizable Cooking Time: Depending on your air fryer model, you might need a couple of extra minutes for larger spring rolls or slightly less for smaller ones. Start with the base time and adjust as needed.

Storage and Reheating

Storage: If you have leftover cooked spring rolls, let them cool completely before storing them. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Freezing Leftovers: For longer storage, freeze the cooked spring rolls. Lay them on a tray to freeze individually before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag or container to avoid sticking.
Reheating in the Air Fryer: To reheat, preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Place the spring rolls in the basket and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they are heated through and crispy again.
Reheating in the Oven: Reheat spring rolls in a 375°F oven for about 10 minutes to restore crispness.
Microwave Reheating: While convenient, the microwave will make the spring rolls soft. Use this option only if you’re in a hurry, heating them for 1-2 minutes on high.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cook spring rolls without defrosting them first?

Yes! This recipe is specifically designed to cook frozen spring rolls straight from the freezer. The air fryer makes them perfectly crisp and golden without needing to defrost them.

What temperature should I use to cook spring rolls in the air fryer?

Set your air fryer to 360°F. This ensures the spring rolls cook evenly and achieve a crispy exterior without burning.

How do I prevent spring rolls from sticking to the air fryer basket?

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray or brush it with a thin layer of oil before placing the spring rolls. This step helps prevent sticking and enhances crispiness.

Can I use homemade spring rolls for this recipe?

Absolutely! If your homemade spring rolls are frozen, you can cook them using the same method as store-bought ones. Just ensure they’re tightly sealed to prevent leakage.

What should I do if the filling is too hot after cooking?

Allow the spring rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. For kids, you can cut them in half or poke a small hole to let the steam escape.

Can I cook multiple batches at once?

If you have a larger air fryer, you can cook more spring rolls at once, as long as they fit in a single layer. For smaller air fryers, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can prevent even cooking.

What’s the best way to serve spring rolls?

Spring rolls are great as appetizers, snacks, or side dishes. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauces and serve them with stir-fried vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
