Air Fryer Vegetable Spring Rolls
Introduction
Air Fryer Vegetable Spring Rolls are a crispy, flavor-packed snack or appetizer that’s lighter, cleaner, and easier than their deep-fried cousins—no messy oil, and your kitchen stays cool! The air fryer makes these golden rolls with minimal fat, and their fresh, crunchy veggie filling is a sure way to get everyone reaching for seconds.
Whether you’re prepping for a party, making a quick weeknight starter, or creating a healthy lunch box treat, these spring rolls win for ease, speed, and great taste.
Why These Spring Rolls Shine
What sets this recipe apart is the vibrant contrast of perfectly crisp wrappers outside and a tender vegetable medley within. The air fryer delivers that addictive crunch with only a light brush of oil, so you can indulge, guilt-free. Flexible enough for nearly any mix of veggies, these spring rolls are easily customized and an instant crowd-pleaser at gatherings, potlucks, or as a light meal with a flavorful dipping sauce.
Chopping and Prepping the Veggies
For even cooking and professional-looking spring rolls, uniform veggie cuts are key. A great way to ensure precise slicing and chopping is to use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper, which makes quick work of shredding carrots, cabbage, peppers, and more. Prepare the veggies ahead for stress-free assembly and maximize vibrancy by using a mix of colors—think purple cabbage, orange carrots, and green onions.
Effortless Wrapping and Air Frying
When it comes to filling and rolling, work with thawed spring roll wrappers and keep them covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying. Use a sturdy, flat surface for wrapping; a Bamboo Cutting Board Set offers plenty of space and keeps your prep organized.
After rolling, lightly brush the spring rolls with a touch of oil using a YARRAMATE Oil Sprayer (or similar), which helps achieve that beautiful golden color without excess fat.
For the crispest results, line your air fryer basket with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll or use Air Fryer Paper Liners to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup. Place the spring rolls in a single layer (work in batches if needed), using a spacious air fryer like the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt for the best results.
Serving and Storing Air Fryer Vegetable Spring Rolls
Serve hot, with a side of sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or tangy homemade dip. If prepping ahead, let the spring rolls cool and store in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers to maintain their crunch.
These make fantastic lunchbox additions—just pack them in a Bentgo Salad Container alongside some fresh greens or fruit for a well-balanced meal.

Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large skillet, briefly stir-fry the cabbage, carrot, peppers, green onions, and garlic with a splash of soy sauce and optional sesame oil until just softened. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Let the filling cool to room temperature.

- Preheat your COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1 to 380°F. Line the basket with Air Fryer Paper Liners or a piece of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy removal.
- Lightly spritz or brush the spring rolls on all sides with oil using a YARRAMATE Oil Sprayer. Arrange rolls in a single layer in the basket. (Cook in batches if necessary.)
