What if I don’t have an air fryer?
You can either bake them in the oven or fry them in oil on the stove top.
In the oven, bake them for 20 minutes at 400°F, turning them over at the 10 minute mark.
If you choose the stove top version, add a half an inch of oil to a frying pan and fry for 3 minutes per side, until golden. You may want to use a lid to help prevent the oil from splashing while cooking.
Can I freeze the spring rolls?
Yes! Once you add all the ingredients and roll them up, you can place into a freezer bag in one single layer. Close the bag and freeze for up to 2-4 months. When you are ready to use, simply take out of the freezer and place into the air fryer. No defrost is necessary.
What is your favorite sauce to go with the spring rolls?
A favorite is a combo of sweet chili sauce and dark soy sauce. But don’t limit yourself here, you can explore a spicy peanut sauce, sweet & spicy sauce, or Yum Yum sauce.
Why didn’t the spring rolls cook all the way through?
- The air fryer wasn’t pre-heated before starting.
- There were too many cooking at once.
- The spring rolls were larger which may need more cook time.
- You didn’t turn them halfway through the cooking cycle.
