Homemade Egg Rolls FAQs
Cooking egg rolls in the air fryer is easy, less messy, and more wholesome as they use much less oil. Aside from flipping the egg rolls halfway through, you can set them and forget them without any hassle. Plus, air fried egg rolls take only 8 minutes to cook.
Cook your egg rolls for 8 minutes at 380°F, flipping halfway through. They should be nicely crisp and golden-brown once cooked.
Pork Egg Rolls Ingredients
- Olive oil
- Sesame seeds
- Ground pork
- Green onions
- Onion powder
- Black pepper
- Ground ginger
- Minced garlic
- White wine vinegar
- Soy sauce
- Coleslaw mix
- Egg roll wraps
How to Make Egg Rolls in the Air Fryer
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sesame seeds. Toast the seeds to golden-brown.
- Add ground pork. Cook until browned, then add onion powder, black pepper, ground ginger, chopped green onions, minced garlic, white wine vinegar, and soy sauce. Cook until the juices evaporate.
- Add in the coleslaw mix and mix through. Cook so the slaw mix softens and stir through until everything is nicely combined.
- Lay out egg roll wrappers in the position of a diamond. Spoon two to three spoonfuls of meat into the center of the wrapper – make sure not to overstuff the egg rolls!
- Lightly wet the edge of the wrapper with water. Fold the left and right corners towards the center.
- Then, fold the bottom corner up, and roll the egg rolls shut, squeezing any air out as you roll them.
- Lightly wet the exposed corner to press it down and seal your egg roll.
- Spray the air fryer basket with oil, then place the egg rolls in the basket. Spray the egg rolls with oil.
- Cook for 8 minutes at 380°F, until crispy and golden brown on all sides. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Try serving pork egg rolls with sweet and sour sauce or sweet chili sauce!
Air Frying Egg Rolls Tips
- If you’d like to add a different protein to this egg roll recipe, it must be cooked before being placed inside the egg roll wrapper. Some other protein ideas: chicken, beef, sausage, shrimp, tofu, or veggie egg rolls!
- In most grocery stores, you’ll find egg roll wrappers in the produce section near bottle salad dressings and sauces.
- Make sure not to overcrowd your air fryer; this way the air can circulate around the egg rolls and cook them perfectly. Cook them in batches if needed! I love my 10-Quart Air Fryer for this recipe.
Can you make egg rolls ahead of time?
You can pre-roll your egg rolls and store them in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours ahead of time. For best results, I recommend placing in an airtight container with a damp rag over them to prevent them from becoming soggy.
When ready to serve the next day, fry them up according to the recipe instructions.
Can you freeze egg rolls?
If you’re not wanting to cook your egg rolls right away, you can place uncooked egg rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and freeze. Transfer to an air tight container, and store for up to 1-2 months.
For reheating, I do not recommend thawing before. You will just need to add a few extra minutes to the cook time. Start with 12 minutes and increase the time if you find it necessary.
How to Reheat Egg Rolls in the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Spray your leftover egg rolls with olive oil spray on both sides (or brush them lightly with oil), and air fry for 5 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Can you assemble all of the egg rolls ahead of time and then air fry them about 2-3 hours later? Trying to save time while traveling for Christmas.
Thanks
Stephanie says
Sorry, I just looked through your post better and found the answer. My apologies.
Em Beitel says
It’s no trouble, Stephanie! We hope you enjoy them! Safe travels and have a great holiday!
Brandee Goode says
Can you freeze them for later?
Isabel Laessig says
Hi Brandee! To freeze these egg rolls, cook them first, and allow them to cool. Then, wrap them tightly and store for up to 4 months labeled with the date. You can reheat them straight out of the freezer by preheating the air fryer to 380°F for 5 minutes, then air frying at the same temp for 12-15 minutes until they’re crispy and heated through. Enjoy!
Mar says
Hello!
For freezing, do you recommend raw or cooked?
Thank you 🙂
Em Beitel says
Hi Mar! I would recommend cooking them first. Let them cool, then wrap them tightly and store them for up to 4 months or so. You can heat them straight out of the freezer, too. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 5 minutes, then air fry at the same temp for 12-15 minutes until crispy and heated through. Enjoy!
