Craving a quick, crunchy bite? These frozen spring rolls in the air fryer are one of the easiest snacks for busy days. With modern technology (thanks, air fryer!), they’re insanely crispy, cook in under 10 minutes, and require no oil!
save this recipe!Your New Go-To Snack
There’s just something about a delicious, crispy spring roll that really hits the spot. Whether I’m grabbing them for a zero-effort snack or a quick, crowd-pleasing party app, they never let me down. That being said, I have a solid amount of experience cooking *frozen* spring rolls.
I’ll admit, though, I was slow to try the whole air fryer frozen spring rolls thing. I was skeptical. I mean, how can something use air to make food as crispy as frying it in oil? That just didn’t seem legit.
Spoiler alert: It’s better. Air frying frozen spring rolls is a total game-changer—super crispy outside, perfectly heated inside, and done in under 10 minutes. If you’re all about quick, easy, and ridiculously tasty snacks, this is your new jam.
Worked beautifully with tesco fresh spring rolls that I nearly didn’t freeze in time! Forgot the oil but the temp and time brought the golden brown crunchy goodness! -MELANIE
You Don’t Need Much
The ingredient list for these spring rolls is pretty simple. I like to use a little spray oil but you definitely don’t NEED it. Jump to the recipe card for the full ingredient deets—this is just an overview!
- Frozen Spring Rolls: Grab your favorite spring rolls from the freezer section and let’s roll! But really, you can use any type of spring roll you like – vegetarian (my preference), meat filled, etc.
- Oil: While the air fryer does a pretty dang good job of crisping up the spring rolls, I do like to brush them or spray them with a smidge of vegetable oil to really hammer in that crispy exterior. For this, I use avocado oil since it has a higher smoke point than olive oil.
My Air Fryer Pick
Air fryers come in all shapes and sizes! My go-to is the basket-style air fryer—it’s super convenient to just toss things in and get cooking. But if you have a toaster oven-style air fryer, you’re still good. Just keep in mind that the cooking time for these spring rolls may vary slightly depending on your model.
Let’s Make Spring Rolls
These air fryer frozen spring rolls are ready in two simple steps. The whole process only takes about 10 minutes start to finish! (For the full printable instructions, jump to the recipe card.)
Step 1: Prep The Spring Rolls
Arrange the frozen spring rolls in a single layer in your air fryer. For perfectly crisp, golden brown results, give each roll a light brush of oil.
Step 2: Air Fry The Rolls
Cook at 400°F (204°C) for 5 to 7 minutes until crispy and golden. If you have a different air fryer style (like a toaster oven style), you may have to adjust the cooking time, so be sure to keep an eye on them.

Why this Recipe Works
Air frying frozen spring rolls seriously takes them to the next level. But if I haven’t convinced you yet, just keep reading.
- Extra Crispy: An air fryer works by circulating hot air from ALL sides, so the crispiness you get is unmatched (no soggy bottoms here!).
- Fast: No preheating is required here, folks! Just pop them in, and you’ve got crispy air fryer spring rolls in minutes.
- Save Energy: Why heat up a whole oven for a handful of spring rolls? The air fryer is smaller, faster, and more efficient.
- Cleaner: Cooking with an air fryer is immensely cleaner than deep-frying. No splattered oil, no burned arms, and zero “what do I do with all this leftover oil?” drama.
Dip Dip Hooray!
The only thing that could make these spring rolls better? A great dip! Here are some of my favorites. Peanut sauce is the perfect creamy dip with a ginger kick (this is actually part of my vegan rainbow spring roll recipe and made out of almond butter, but it goes SO well with these fried spring rolls).
