Air Fryer Egg Rolls are the most delicious vegan-friendly snack, appetizer or meal! Not fried, packed with healthy veggies and tofu and cooks in 8 minutes! Veggie Egg Rolls are the perfect healthy food everyone will love. 

Everyone loves eggrolls espically with sweet chili dipping sauce! I love the crunch mixed with all the sauteed veggies. Lucky for all of us I have created this recipe without all the oil or deep frying used in traditional egg rolls. Air Fryer Egg Rolls have all same the crunch and flavor as traditional egg rolls. 

Where do you buy Egg Roll Wrapper?

Most stores carry egg roll wrappers, generally in the refrigerated aisle by the bottled dressings! If you go to an Asian market you will find much more verity, shapes and sizes.  There is a difference between spring roll wrapper and egg roll wrappers, make sure you are purchasing egg roll wrappers! 

What do you put in egg rolls?

Honestly, this is a recipe that is easily customizable. I kept mine meat-free, however, if you choose to add meat make sure it’s fully cooked before adding to your egg roll mixture. This version of egg rolls has:

  • Egg Roll Wrappers
  • Shredded Cabbage
  • Diced Mushroom
  • Crumbled Tofu
  • Shredded Carrots 
  • Green Onion
  • Flavorings: Tamari, Rice Vinegar, Salt & Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Onion Salt
  • Sesame Oil & Avocado Oil

If you choose to add meat make sure its fully cooked, shrimp, cooked sausage, chicken or beef are great add-ins. 

How do you wrap an egg roll?

  1. Set up a small station for you to wrap the rolls. I like to use a cutting board. 
  2. Place the wrapper on your cutting board, you want a diamond shape, so it should be pointing at you. 
  3. Place about 3 tbsp of your filling in the center. Roll up the bottom point so it just covers the filling.
  4. Fold in the left side of your wrapper to cover the center and then fold in the right side to cover the left side. It will like an envelope!
  5. Starting at the bottom roll your egg roll up to the top point, brush some water over the top point and seal your egg roll. If your sides need sealing brush them with water too.
  6. Repeat till finished with your egg roll filling. Love egg rolls, also try Egg Roll in a Bowl!
