These crispy air fryer egg rolls feature a savory pork and vegetable filling wrapped in golden, crunchy wrappers. Healthier than traditional fried egg rolls, they’re quick, easy, and perfect for snacks, appetizers, or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, grated
  • 1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 16 egg roll wrappers
  • Water (for sealing edges)
  • Cooking spray or vegetable oil (for air frying)
  • Optional Dipping Sauce:
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp chili paste or sriracha
  • 1 tsp honey

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground pork, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, sliced green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  2. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix until well blended.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
  4. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Spoon about 2 tbsp of filling onto the lower third.
  5. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly toward the top corner. Brush the edge with water to seal.
  6. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling to make 16 rolls.
  7. Lightly spray each roll with cooking spray or brush with vegetable oil.
  8. Arrange egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each.
  9. Air fry at 375Β°F for 10 minutes. Turn each roll and air fry for another 6-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Let egg rolls cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
  11. Serve hot with dipping sauce.

Notes

Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent bursting. Roll tightly for best results. Air fry in a single layer for even crisping; work in batches if needed. For gluten-free, use tamari and gluten-free wrappers. Vegetarian option: substitute pork with crumbled tofu or mushrooms. Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for best texture.
