Expert Tips

  • Depending on the brand all frozen egg rolls vary in size, thickness, and filling. I prefer the Minh Pork Egg Rolls from Costco which come in an 8 pack. Smaller egg rolls will take less time to cook.
  • You don’t need to spray the basket or the egg rolls with oil.
  • Don’t overcrowd the Air Fryer basket to ensure even cooking! I recommend putting them in a single layer with room between the rolls so the air can circulate.
  • For even cooking shake the basket or turn the egg rolls once or twice during cooking.
  • All Air Fryers are different so timings can be different. Always keep an eye on your food and check often the first time you’re making a new recipe.
  • This recipe was tested in a Philipps Air Fryer and a Ninja Foodie.

Recipe FAQs

Should you thaw egg rolls before frying?

No, you should not thaw egg rolls before Air Frying them. You can cook them straight from the freezer.

How long do you cook frozen egg rolls in the air fryer?

Depending on the size of the egg rolls you cook them between 13 and 15 minutes. Larger egg rolls will take longer.

What is the best way to cook frozen egg rolls?

In my opinion the Air Fryer works best, the get crispy from all sides and are done in minutes! Cooking them in the oven takes a lot longer because the oven takes longer to preheat and they don’t crisp up from all sides. Deep frying is messy and adds a lot of extra oil. Using the microwave makes them less crispy and they cook unevenly.
