Ingredients for Crispy Air Fryer Veggie Spring Rolls

• 12 spring roll wrappers (I usually grab these from the refrigerated section of my local grocery store)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil (get the toasted kind, it’s way more flavorful!)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups shredded green cabbage (I like to buy it pre-shredded to save time, but you can totally shred your own if you’re feeling ambitious!)
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced (a nice pop of color and sweetness!)
• 3 green onions, sliced (both the white and green parts are great here)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (fresh is always best, but garlic powder works in a pinch)
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (it adds such a wonderful zing!)
• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (for that savory kick in the filling)

For the dipping sauce:

• 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (adds a nice tanginess)
• 1 tablespoon honey (just a touch of sweetness to balance everything)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Air Fryer Veggie Spring Rolls

I always tell folks to get their air fryer preheating while they’re whipping up the filling. It just makes everything go smoother and keeps you from waiting around!

Step 1: First things first, let’s get that flavor base going. Heat up the sesame oil and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in your minced garlic and grated ginger and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until they smell amazing – be careful not to burn them!

Step 2: Now, toss in all those gorgeous veggies: the shredded cabbage, carrots, sliced red bell pepper, and green onions. Stir-fry for about 4 to 5 minutes. You want them to be slightly softened but still have a nice, crisp bite to them. Nobody likes mushy spring rolls!

Step 3: Stir in the low-sodium soy sauce and give everything a good mix. Then, pull the pan off the heat and let that veggie filling cool down for a few minutes. This is super important, otherwise, your wrappers might get happy and tear on you!

Step 4: Time to wrap ’em up! Lay out a spring roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing towards you, like a little diamond. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled veggie filling near the bottom corner. Fold that bottom corner up and over the filling, then fold in the two side corners tightly. Now, just roll it up like a little burrito, keeping it nice and snug. Repeat with all your wrappers and filling.

Step 5: Get your air fryer ready! Preheat it to 390°F (that’s 200°C). Once it’s nice and hot, lightly brush or spray the outside of your spring rolls with a little oil. This is key for getting them perfectly golden and crispy!

Step 6: Carefully place the spring rolls in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Trust me, don’t overcrowd it! You might need to do this in batches. Air fry for about 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through. You’re looking for that beautiful golden-brown color and satisfying crispiness. You can find more amazing air fryer veggie recipes for inspiration too!

Step 7: While those are crisping up, whip up the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, just whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Easy peasy, and SO yummy!

Step 8: Once they’re done and gorgeous, pull them out of the air fryer. Serve them up piping hot with that delicious dipping sauce on the side. Get ready for the rave reviews!

What to Serve with Your Air Fryer Veggie Spring Rolls

These spring rolls are fantastic on their own, but if you’re looking to round out your meal, here are a few ideas that just sing together!

Ginger Scallion Noodles: A simple bowl of noodles tossed with fresh ginger and scallions adds a lovely, aromatic noodle component that complements the crispy spring rolls perfectly. It’s light but so flavorful!

Quick Peanut Sauce: If you want something a little richer and creamier than the soy-based dipping sauce, a quick peanut sauce made with peanut butter, a splash of soy sauce, and a touch of lime juice is always a winner. It’s a wonderful way to add healthy fats, too.

Simple Cucumber Salad: For a refreshing contrast, a light cucumber salad with a rice vinegar dressing really cuts through the richness of the spring rolls. It adds a cool crunch that’s just delightful. You can even add a bit of sesame oil to the dressing for an extra flavor punch. Looking for more fresh salad ideas? Check out these!

Any type of Meal Prep Bowl: Honestly, these spring rolls are a great addition to any healthy meal prep. We love serving them alongside chicken and veggie bowls for an extra layer of texture and flavor. It makes weekday lunches feel like a treat!

Storing and Reheating Your Air Fryer Veggie Spring Rolls

Got a few leftover spring rolls? Don’t toss them! You can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The dipping sauce will last just as long in its own little container. Just a heads-up, they won’t be quite as magically crispy as when they’re fresh, but we can fix that!

When you’re ready to enjoy them again, skip the microwave! It makes them soggy. Instead, pop them back into your air fryer at about 375°F for 3-5 minutes, or just until they’re heated through and nicely crisp again. It makes all the difference! For meal prep, I like to store the spring rolls and dipping sauce separately. You can even prep the veggie filling ahead of time and then wrap and air fry them as needed throughout the week for maximum freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Fryer Veggie Spring Rolls

Can I make air fryer veggie spring rolls ahead of time?

You sure can! You can prep the veggie filling a day in advance and store it in the fridge. For the best crispiness, I highly recommend assembling and air frying the spring rolls right before you plan to eat them. If you do want to assemble them ahead, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer as mentioned before. They won’t be *quite* as perfect as fresh, but still delicious!

What other vegetables can I use in these air fryer veggie spring rolls?

Oh, get creative! These are super forgiving. You can totally swap out or add other veggies. Try finely chopped mushrooms, water chestnuts for crunch, bean sprouts, or even some shredded zucchini. Just make sure to chop them small enough so they cook through quickly and don’t make the filling too wet. You can find more healthy air fryer veggie ideas for more inspiration!

My spring rolls aren’t crispy enough, what am I doing wrong?

Ah, the eternal quest for crispiness! Usually, it comes down to two things: overcrowding the air fryer basket or not using enough oil. Make sure you’re working in batches so the hot air can circulate all around each roll. And don’t be shy with the oil spray or brush – that little bit of fat is what helps them get golden and crunchy. Also, make sure your veggies aren’t too wet after stir-frying!
