Equipment Needed
I use our 5.3-quart Cosori air fryer, which is enough for cooking 6-9 egg rolls at a time in the basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer and how many egg rolls you’d like to cook, you may need to cook multiple batches.
If you’re serving these for a crowd, see the FAQ section below on how to reheat cooked egg rolls.
Occasionally I will also use air fryer parchment to prevent the basket from getting messy. Frozen egg rolls have already been fried in oil so I find that they do not stick to the air fryer basket when cooking.
