Why this recipe works

Crispy spring rolls with vegetable filling

The most important step for air fryer spring rolls is a dry, cold filling as possible. Hot or moist ingredients soften the thin dough leaves and allow seams to burst. Roll tight, but not so firm that the filling cannot extend a millimeter when heated.

Kitchen know-how

Tips for Air Fryer Spring Rolls

Fry filling dry

Visible liquid softens the shell. Fry vegetables until the bottom of the pan is dry again.

Just roll in cold

Hot filling produces steam in the dough leaf. Allow to cool completely to room temperature before rolling.

Cover dough leaves

Keep unused leaves under a slightly damp cloth so that the edges do not become brittle.
