The Air Fryer

By now I think you guys know I love my Air Fryer! I use it all the time. It’s like a really fast mini oven for me.

Want to see my Air Fryer recipes?

I just love the kitchen appliance so much that I collected all my recipes in one place. The Easy Air Fryer Cookbook celebrates one of the coolest kitchen inventions in recent memory: the air fryer!

The air fryer has revolutionized home-cooked fried foods.

By using up to 75% less fat than traditional frying methods, they’ve made foods once strictly off-limits to use accessible and enjoyable for the whole family.

And with this cookbook arriving on bookshelves just in time for the holidays, it’s going to be a very happy, healthy, and mouthwateringly good season for all!

Recipe Notes

These easy to make egg rolls are super tasty and very impressive.

They’re crunchy on the outside and filled with tender cooked veggies in a light Asian flavor sauce.

These Spicy Vegetable Egg Rolls would be really easy to change up too.

Want a little more protein? Toss in some chopped tofu. Or try some shredded chicken.

If you don’t follow a diabetes diet you could add in some toasted sesame oil or sesame seeds. Add a bit of sweet and sour sauce to the mix for a little kick.

I want to try added some cooked glass noodles to them as well.Don’t like spicy? Feel free to cut the red pepper flakes in half, or leave them out entirely.

The filling made 6 egg rolls for me, but I figure that’s just more yumminess! And I cooked my egg rolls in two batches so they didn’t sit too closely together and the air could still circulate.

How to roll an egg roll

The egg roll wrappers will dry out if left uncovered, so be sure to cover them with a damp clean cloth as

you work with them.And a really nice thing about making these egg rolls in the air fryer, is if you do happen to rip the wrapper, the filling won’t all spill out when the egg roll cooks. Since it’s sitting in the air fryer, the filling is still contained.

    I don’t have an air fryer so I baked them in the oven. They turned out great! So easy to make and so healthy.

    I made these egg rolls and will definitely make more next time. They disappeared as soon as they were cool enough to devour!

    Made the air fryer vegetable egg rolls. Was afraid the veggies needed sautéing first, but was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case. I felt that 4 tablespoons of roasted flaxseeds was way too much (was this a misprint?) They made the filling very dark instead of bright and appealing. I also thought the veggies needed something. I did enjoy the egg rolls with a sweet and sour dip—but not enough to make again as written. Will likely make a few changes and try again. Had really high hopes because I love my air fryer!
    My favorite air fryer dish is chicken wings with sweet potato fries.

    LaTonya, thank you for your feedback and review. I like these eggrolls without the flaxseeds myself. I have gone ahead and made the change to the recipe card and taken the flax out. That was the original recipe from the cookbook though. I love these and we make them all the time.

    HI there, this looks great. Do you think you could freeze some before cooking?

  8. Debi

    October 28, 2020 at 6:28 am

    Sandi, I think they will freeze well. I haven’t tried it, but all the parts (filling and wrappers) freeze really well. I’d make the filling and roll them, then freeze them. The day before you’re ready to cook, pop them out and defrost in the fridge. Then do the egg wash and air fry them.
    I think if they were cooked then frozen they would be a little soggy (not crisp) when you reheated them.
    Hope that helps!
