I love delicious crispy egg rolls. They are great for holidays or any kind of gathering. There are many ways to make them – pan fry, deep fry, bake them, or make egg roll bowls and eat the inside of the egg roll.
Today I came across the wonton wrappers at my local supermarket and decided to make my own egg rolls. I already have a delicious recipe for the egg roll in a bowl that my family loves.
Instead of deep frying the Egg rolls and using the gallon of oil, I used my Air fryer to cook them. The result is juicy meat with an appetizing crunchy crust. With every bite there is a flavor explosion in your mouth. And the obligatory delicious loud crunch with the first bite! Yum!
How to make Air Fryer Egg rolls.
- You need to get the egg roll wrappers
- Make a stuffing for your egg rolls
- Have fun wrapping, frying and then enjoying the deliciousness and crunch!
For the egg roll wrappers I used the Nasoya Egg roll wraps. They can be found at any supermarket in the refrigerated section. Sometimes it is available on Amazon. Or there you can find much more selection of egg roll wrappers suitable to your taste and liking.
