Homemade Spring Rolls in the Air Fryer
These crispy spring rolls are made with ready-made filo pastry for ease and speed. Cooked in an air fryer, they're a lighter alternative to the traditionally deep-fried versions, but still just as delicious.
Equipment
- 1 Air fryer
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Knife
- 1 Bowl for filling
- 1 Brush for oil
Ingredients
- 250 g filo pastry 8–10 sheets, ready-made
- 200 g minced chicken or pork
- 1 pcs carrot julienned
- 150 g white cabbage finely shredded
- 1 pcs onion finely chopped
- 2 clove garlic finely chopped
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp neutral oil for the pan
- 1 tbsp Oil for brushing
Instructions
- Cut the carrot into thin strips, finely shred the white cabbage, and finely chop the onion and garlic.Keep the filo pastry under a damp tea towel so it doesn't dry out while you work.
- Heat a pan over medium heat, add the oil, and fry the meat until it's fully cooked through (75 °C).
- Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and white cabbage to the pan and fry until the vegetables have softened. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.Season with salt and pepper. Let the filling cool.
- Cut the filo sheets into pieces of about 20 × 20 cm and stack them 2 at a time, so you have 12 double pieces. Place about 2 tbsp of filling near the bottom of each piece, fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Brush the edge with a little oil so the roll seals, and place it seam side down.
- Brush the spring rolls with oil on all sides.
- Preheat the air fryer to 190 °C (or let it run for a couple of minutes). Place the rolls in the basket so they don't touch – cook in 2 batches if needed.Bake at 190 °C for 8–10 min, until the rolls are golden and crispy. Turn them halfway through.Start the online kitchen timer here

Notes
-Spring rolls can be filled with a range of ingredients to taste, such as prawns, tofu for a vegetarian version, or various vegetables.
-Filo pastry dries out quickly, so keep it covered with a damp cloth while you work.
