How to Cook Frozen Egg Rolls in the Air Fryer – Time Temp

Egg rolls cooked in the air fryer are simply amazing. The outside is perfectly crispy, and the inside is warm, savory, and juicy. Every bite has a satisfying crunch from cabbage and a pop of color from carrots. Serve these tasty egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce, and you’ve got a yummy appetizer or snack that everyone will enjoy in less than 10 minutes! 

Take out and Chinese food is expensive and who has the time to make egg rolls from scratch? Not me! That’s why I love this quick and easy frozen egg roll recipe. Plus, using the air fryer means they will come out crispy and delicious every time.

These crispy egg rolls are so good. You won’t order take-out or spend hours in the kitchen preparing egg rolls again!

I love using the air fryer versus deep frying these egg rolls. You still get crunchy egg rolls without the added fat or calories that are included in the oil.

I also love dipping these egg rolls in soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and duck sauce. They are some of my favorites!

Grab your favorite brand of eggs rolls in the freezer section of the grocery store. They make a great snack and the air fryer is the best way to make them. There are several different brands to choose from.

This is by far my favorite easy method for making egg rolls and one of my favorite frozen foods to make.

How to Make Frozen Egg Rolls In The Air Fryer

Storage 

There’s a good chance that these eggrolls will go quickly, but if you do happen to have any leftover egg rolls, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.

When ready to reheat, pop a few back into the air fryer at 360 degrees for 2 or 3 minutes or until heated through.

Frozen Egg Rolls In The Air Fryer FAQs

Do I need to thaw frozen egg rolls before cooking?

No, you do not need to thaw frozen egg rolls before cooking, in fact, the egg rolls will cook more evenly if kept completely frozen until time to cook.

Do I have to add oil to my air fryer before cooking?

No. There it is not necessary to oil the air fryer basket beforehand because frozen egg rolls already have oil on them.

Can I use my oven instead of the air fryer for this recipe?

Yes! Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place frozen egg rolls on a greased cooking sheet and cook for 15 minutes or until outside is brown and crispy.

Can I use chicken egg rolls for this recipe? 

Of course, any flavor egg roll may be used for this dish. Besides pork, chicken, beef, seafood, or plain vegetable egg rolls are all excellent options.

Can these egg rolls be made in the microwave?

Yes, however, I wouldn’t recommend it. Frozen egg rolls cooked in the microwave will be soggy and below par. If you don’t have an air fryer, I recommend using the oven instead of the microwave. Follow the package’s cooking instructions if you want to use the microwave.

Will larger egg rolls take longer to cook?

Yes. This recipe makes larger egg rolls. If you are using mini egg rolls, the cooking time will be decreased by a few minutes. Keep an eye on them at all times to ensure they do not burn.

These frozen egg rolls are a quick snack and one of my family’s favorite snacks when we are looking for something easy.
