These crispy air fryer spring rolls are an easy, quick snack with a golden, crunchy exterior and a savory, balanced filling. Perfect for parties, family gatherings, or a satisfying snack without the greasy mess of deep frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Spring roll wrappers (thin, square)
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup grated carrot
  • 3–4 stalks chopped green onions
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 cup finely chopped cooked shrimp or ground chicken (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (or hoisin sauce for sweeter flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of chili flakes (optional)
  • Water (for sealing edges)
  • Cooking oil spray or light brush of vegetable or avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and your choice of protein. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and chili flakes if using. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Prepare spring roll wrappers: Lay a wrapper flat on a clean surface. Keep the rest covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
  3. Fill the wrappers: Place about 2 tablespoons (30g) of filling near one corner of the wrapper. Fold that corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly, and roll it up firmly towards the opposite corner. Use a little water to moisten the final edge and seal the roll securely. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it warm up.
  5. Lightly brush or spray each spring roll with oil on all sides.
  6. Place spring rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.
  7. Let them cool for a minute or two, then serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

If the filling feels too wet, squeeze it gently in a clean kitchen towel before wrapping to avoid soggy rolls. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed. Brushing oil on the rolls gives a better golden color than spraying alone. Can bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes if no air fryer is available.
