Ready to air fry spring rolls at home? These are fun to make and change up with a number of different fillings. You can keep traditionally vegetarian or add meat inside if you like too. With a light olive oil spray you can make this easy air fryer recipe crispy in a Cosori or Ninja foodi like this. (affiliate links present)

Ninja Foodi Spring Rolls

Whether you want to make a shrimp spring roll recipe or stuffed with chicken we have instructions for you. Air Fryer Ground Beef Egg Rolls are one of our favorites if we are making a version for a hearty meal instead of an appetizer. Traditionally they don’t have any meat inside them though, just cabbage, bean sprouts and carrots.

Of course we have enjoyed Costco spring rolls before cooked this way because they come out way crispier than in the microwave or oven but making them at home like Pepperoni Pizza Egg Rolls which my teens love is way better.

Crispy Spring Rolls Air Fryer

Below is what we used this time in the pictures, a savory veggie blend. Once you get the hang of hw they are made though you can go way beyond these. Filled with fruit like our Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls are amazing for a quick treat of a dessert too.

We show you a number of different options in our Air Fryer Egg Rolls Not Frozen post too. In this case I show you how to do as little prep as possible and grabbing a bag of coleslaw mix at the store. That has the shaved carrots and things already in there which makes things super easy, even a teen can do it.

  • Coleslaw mix or chopped cabbage
  • Bean sprouts are traditionally found in Chinese spring rolls
  • 1 c mushrooms sliced thin
  • Minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • You can find spring roll wrappers at the store in the refrigerated produce section
  • Ginger grated
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water together
  • olive oil spray
Are spring rolls gluten free?

Spring rolls can be gluten-free depending on how they are prepared. Traditional wrappers are typically made from rice flour, water, and salt, which are naturally gluten free ingredients. However, some commercial spring roll wrappers may contain wheat flour as an ingredient so it’s important to check the packaging.

How to air fry spring rolls from Costco?

Costco spring rolls are refrigerated and ready made. You just want to preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes, lay inside in a single layer, spray with a bit of olive oil for about 10 minutes. Flip over halfway for best results. Enjoy once browned and crispy to your liking.

If you did want to add meat it would need to be precooked. If you have leftover chicken that works well, diced up Skirt Steak in Oven from the night before works well too. You just want it in small pieces so when you bite it it’s easy to chew and not have to be cut.

Spring Roll Dipping Sauce

Whether you are making Frozen Egg Rolls in Air Fryer or these you are going to want a dip right? You can just grab some chili sauce at the store if you want but amped up you can make a better one right here like this. You will need a small saucepan to heat and thicken the following ingredients for egg roll sauce.

Once you have made your goodies in a Cosori, Air Wave or as a Ninja Foodi recipe you can whip this up real quick. Make as spicy as you want or keep sweet.

  • 1/4 c soy sauce
  • 1/2 c ketchup
  • 1/4 c white vinegar
  • 2-3 tbsp cornstarch to thicken
  • 2-3 tbsp water
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes 

With all of our Recipes Using Egg Roll Wrappers you can adjust the heat to your liking. Start with 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes for jalapeno powder, taste and adjust from there.

Put a small saucepan over the stovetop on medium/high heat. Whisk together all ingredients except the water and cornstarch (that is to thicken at the end). Heat until it begins to bubble.

Start with whisking in a small cup 2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water until smooth and pour that into sauce. Allow to bubble and thicken. If you want it thicker do the same with the remaining 1 tbsp cornstarch + water until thicker. Taste, adjust with salt and pepper to your liking. Remove from heat, it will continue to thicken as it cools as well

Homemade Spring Rolls Recipe

Whether you decide to make Dessert Egg Rolls or this mixture you would follow the same steps below and in the recipe card.

  • In a large bowl, combine garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger.
  • Mix well. To the sauce, add the coleslaw mix, beansprouts, and mushrooms. Toss well to coat. Allow to marinate for 5 minutes before tossing again.
  • Lay out two overlapping spring roll wrappers like a diamond.
  • Place a spoonful of the vegetable mixture in the center.
  • Mix the cornstarch and water with a fork whisked until smooth. Set aside. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the bottom over and roll tightly. Use the cornstarch-water mixture to seal the edge.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly coat the spring rolls with olive oil cooking spray and place them in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching.
  • Air fry for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, or until they are golden brown and crispy to your liking. Serve with your favorite sweet and sour sauce or sweet chili sauce.

Really you use the same temperature and timing with frozen spring rolls vs egg rolls homemade with rice paper. Deep fried would take less time but I don’t like the added calories of that method. In a pan with a bit of oil works too if that is all you have. Just a few minutes on each side will do for pan fried.

You can never quite tell how much insides you will need or want. SO if you do have quite a bit you can then follow our Low Carb Instant Pot Egg Roll Bowl to make yet another meal that day!! It won’t save well in the fridge for much longer than that so using it all is kinda’ a must so there isn’t any waste.
