Air Fryer Vegetable Spring Rolls
Crispy golden rolls packed with crunchy veg.
Before You Start
Crunchy spring rolls without deep frying. A quick stir-fried veg filling wrapped in spring roll pastry crisps up beautifully in the air fryer with just a brush of oil. Serve with sweet chilli or soy dip.

Stir-fry the cabbage, carrot, spring onion and garlic in the sesame oil for 3 to 4 minutes until just wilted. Add the soy and cook off the liquid. Cool.

♨️ Air fryer notes
- Cook at 190°C / 375°F and preheat for 2 to 3 minutes for the crispiest result.
- Keep everything in a single layer with space around each piece. Overcrowding steams food instead of crisping it, so cook in batches if your basket is small.
- Shake or turn halfway, and check a few minutes early, since air fryers cook faster than ovens and every model runs slightly differently.
💡 Cook's tips
- Cool the filling and cook off any liquid first, or the wrappers turn soggy and tear.
- Brush the rolls with oil so they crisp evenly rather than drying out in patches.
🔀 Make it your own
- Add cooked prawns, shredded chicken or vermicelli noodles to the filling.
- Add a little grated ginger to the veg.
📦 Storing & reheating
Best fresh. Re-crisp leftovers at 190°C for 3 to 4 minutes. Uncooked rolls freeze well; cook from frozen, adding a few minutes.
❓ Frequently asked
Spring roll wrappers or rice paper?
Use wheat spring roll pastry for crisp, golden rolls. Rice paper behaves differently and can turn chewy in the air fryer.
Why did my rolls burst?
Usually overfilled or the filling was too wet. Use a modest line of well-drained filling and roll tightly, sealing the edge.
