These crispy air fryer egg rolls deliver a perfect crunchy snack with a juicy, flavorful filling, made quickly and easily without the mess of deep frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Egg roll wrappers (thin, square)
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 medium grated carrot
  • 2 stalks chopped green onions
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 6 oz ground pork (or ground chicken, turkey, or firm tofu for vegetarian)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (cornstarch slurry)
  • Cooking oil spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onions, and minced garlic. Set aside.
  2. Cook protein: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add ground pork (or tofu) and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through — about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Mix filling: Add cooked protein to the veggie bowl. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors evenly. Let it cool for 5 minutes so the filling isn’t too hot when wrapping.
  4. Assemble egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon roughly 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, then roll tightly towards the top corner. Seal the edge with cornstarch slurry using a pastry brush or your finger. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  5. Air fry: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray each egg roll with cooking oil. Arrange them in a single layer in the basket without overcrowding. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. If needed, cook in batches.

Notes

Lightly spray egg rolls with oil before and halfway through cooking for best crispiness. Do not overfill wrappers to prevent bursting. Let egg rolls rest 2-3 minutes after cooking to set filling and maintain crispiness. Can bake at 425°F for 15-18 minutes flipping halfway if no air fryer is available. Freeze uncooked egg rolls individually before storing for longer storage.
