How to Convert Recipes from Oven to Air Fryer for Spring Rolls?
To convert recipes from oven to air fryer, you need to follow two simple steps:
- Lower the cooking temperature by about 20-25°C (or 36-45°F) compared to the oven temperature suggested in the recipe.
- Shorten the cooking time by about 20-25%.
For example,When a recipe calls for baking frozen spring rolls in the oven at 190°C for 14 minutes, you can air fry them at 170°C for 8-10 minutes. This is because the air fryer cooks faster than ovens.
What to Serve with Air Fryer Spring Rolls
I love serving spring rolls with a variety of dipping sauces such as sweet chilli pineapple sauce, peanut sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce or plum sauce.
You can also pair them with side dishes like fried rice, Vegetarian pad thai noodles, or salad to complement the flavours and textures of the rolls.

Typically, frozen spring rolls take 8-12 minutes in an air fryer, depending on the size and thickness of the rolls. It's recommended to shake the basket halfway through cooking for even browning.
No, you don't need to use oil on frozen spring rolls. Air fryers use hot air circulation to cook the food, resulting in crispy and golden-brown texture without the need for deep-frying in oil. However, you can lightly spray or brush the spring rolls with oil for an even crispier texture.
