Preheat the air fryer: Set to 375°F (190°C) for regular spring rolls or 360°F (182°C) for mini ones. Preheating helps them get crisp faster.
Prep the basket: Lightly spray the basket or use a perforated parchment liner rated for air fryers to prevent sticking.
Don’t overspray—too much oil can soften the wrappers.
Arrange the spring rolls: Place frozen spring rolls in a single layer with a little space between each one. Don’t stack or crowd; good airflow equals better crunch.
Optional light oil mist: Give the tops a quick, light spritz of oil for extra blistering and color. This step is optional but helpful for thicker wrappers.
Air fry: Cook regular-size rolls for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
For mini rolls, cook 7–9 minutes, flipping at the 4-minute mark. Add 1–2 minutes if they’re not quite golden.
Check doneness: You want a deep golden color and audible crispness. If the filling includes meat, ensure it’s hot in the center.
A quick thermometer check should read at least 165°F (74°C).
Rest briefly: Let them sit for 2 minutes after cooking. This helps the shell firm up and keeps the filling from scorching your mouth.
Serve: Plate with your favorite dips and garnishes. Enjoy immediately for peak crunch.
