  • Wet the top left and right edges. Fold the corners toward the center. See photos above.

  • Place about 4-6 egg rolls into the air fryer basket. Spray generously with spray oil. (Alternatively, heat a heavy-bottomed pot with 3-4 inches of peanut oil to 375 degrees. Fry the egg rolls for 3-4 minutes in batches. Do not overcrowd the pot.)
  • Air fry at 360 degrees for 7-10 minutes, flipping after 5-6 minutes and spraying again with oil. If the egg rolls are not golden after 10 minutes, continue air frying and spraying with oil until they are brown.
