Frozen mini spring rolls crisp in 8 minutes at 380 °F (193 °C) with one careful flip at the halfway mark. The dry convection heat is well-matched to thin wrappers — it lifts the moisture out and shatters the shell into the right crackly texture without the soggy bottom that deep-frying leaves.

How to tell it’s done

Wrappers are uniformly golden-brown with crisp, slightly blistered edges; tapping a roll with a fork should produce a hollow crackling sound rather than a soft thud.

Step-by-step method

1. 1

   Prep

   Bring ingredients close to room temperature. Optional light spray for a deeper colour — pre-fried frozen rolls have enough oil baked in to crisp without it.

2. 2

   Season

   Season with none — serve with sweet chili or soy-vinegar dipping sauce.

3. 3

   Load

   Arrange 10–14 frozen mini spring rolls in a single layer, no overlap for best convection airflow.

4. 4

   Cook

   Set the air fryer to 380 °F (193 °C) and cook for 8 minutes total, flipping once at 4 minutes.

5. 5

   Check & rest

   Check the visual doneness cue and serve immediately for best texture.

6. 6

   Store

   Best eaten right out of the basket. Refrigerate up to 2 days and reheat at 380 °F for 2 minutes; the wrappers turn slightly leathery on reheat but stay edible.

Watch out for

• !Do not thaw — thawed wrappers go gummy and stick to the basket.
• !Single layer only — touching rolls fuse together at the contact point and the wrapper tears when separated.
• !Flip with tongs, not by shaking — the basket shake bursts thinner wrappers and the filling leaks.
