Tips
Smaller sizes are better than really large varieties because they cook thru more evenly, and easier to handle. There are tons of brands but Minh egg rolls and Ling Ling are most commonly found.
Timing below is for “regular” sizes but your first time I would stick to our timing and go from there. If yours are quite a bit bigger and don’t get quite warm enough for you, then remember next time to increase the cook time maybe 2 more minutes.
Always wait until you have a preheated air fryer before adding any foods and ideally after 5 minutes you flip in order to heat evenly and ensure the middle is warmed.

How Long to Cook Frozen Egg Rolls in Air Fryer
In a total of about 10 minutes you will then have a delicious bite of crunchy goodness your family will love. But the #1 tip when cooking most frozen foods in an air fryer is to leave them in the hot basket for a few minutes once the time is up, which will add a few. This will allow the inside to warm up as the outside cooks much quicker of course.

You can choose vegetarian, chicken, pork or other types and still use this same timing. Unlike other things we’ve shared, like baked potatoes or frozen french fries in air fryer there is NO olive oil required for these. I mean I guess if you really wanted them super duper crunchy at the end you could, but not necessary at all.

Other Frozen Foods in Air Fryer You’ll Love
Love how these turned out, try making air fryer potstickers right out of the freezer too! OR frozen pierogies in air fryer as a fun snack. As for my kids’ fave, it is frozen air fryer corn dogs and air fryer frozen burritos. This is how to make them as good as deep fried but air fried is less fat but still golden brown on the outside.
Instant Pot egg roll in a bowl is great for a fresh dish, or make ground beef egg rolls in your machine from scratch.
This was my first time having frozen egg-rolls and they cooked up perfect in the air fryer. They were nice and crispy and cooked up fast. I will definitely be making them again like this!
