    Ingredients

    • Frozen Spring Rolls: You can buy Royal Asia or Summ! packs of spring rolls at Costco. I recommend buying a 50-count pack to have enough rolls to share with your loved ones at home. Other great options are Sam’s, Lean Cuisine, Costco, Marathon, SeaPack, Imperial Garden and Pagoda.
    • Air Fryer Safe Cooking Spray: Using cooking spray is optional. However, this will help avoid the spring rolls from sticking to one another or onto the fryer basket when frying in large batches.

    3. Cook on 400° approximately 4 minutes.

    Air fryer spring rolls dipping sauce

    Fried spring rolls are always good eaten on their own. But if you want to add a little twist and elevate the flavors, check out these dipping sauce ideas to make those crispy spring rolls even more delicious.

    • Duck Sauce: This is one of my favorite dipping sauces for spring rolls. This sweet and sour sauce goes incredibly well when paired with air fryer lumpia as the sweetness of the sauce pairs well with the savory spring roll.
    • Sweet Thai Chili Sauce: Also known as nam chim kai in Thailand, this delicious Asian spicy dipping sauce is perfect for air fryer spring rolls—sweet and spicy!
    • Spicy Asian Mustard: Also called Chinese hot mustard, this dipping sauce is pungent, strong and spicy just like wasabi. It is delicious paired with frozen egg rolls, fried wonton or frozen spring rolls.
    • Ketchup: You can’t go wrong with this classic condiment! When all else fails, your kiddos will love this fried appetizer served up with a side of ketchup! Ketchup seems to be the necessary accessory for all kid food. Right?

    Can I air fry lumpia frozen?

    Yes, cooking frozen lumpia in an air fryer is definitely one of the best ways to cook this classic meal-time snack. Lumpia is traditionally a fried egg roll native to the Philippines.

    It is filled with ground pork and mixed vegetables, wrapped in a thin paper-like pastry sheet and deep-fried until golden brown in color.

    If you’re thinking of buying a pack of frozen lumpia in the supermarket or making your own homemade egg rolls or spring rolls, then don’t think twice about cooking them in your air fryer!

    Best brands and varieties of frozen spring rolls

    Making homemade spring rolls is traditionally the best way to create this delicious appetizer. But you can also purchase packs of ready-made frozen spring rolls at Costco or in your local grocery stores.

    Royal Asia vegetable spring roll: This Costco vegetable spring roll brand comes with a soy ginger sauce pack and simple cooking instructions. All you need to do is flip it halfway through and it comes out nice and crispy.

    Summ! crispy mini chicken spring rolls: Another Costco spring roll brand, Summ! takes it up a notch. Stuffed with ground chicken and vegetables, these crispy mini chicken spring rolls are a perfect appetizer to your entrée or can be enjoyed on its own.

    Minh pork egg rolls: Made with fresh pork and textured vegetables, this egg roll pack is best served as an appetizer. It is filled with savory pork, chopped cabbage and carrots, and wrapped in a crispy egg roll crust that creates the perfect contrast.

    Other frozen spring rolls variations to try: frozen Vietnamese spring rolls, buffalo chicken spring rolls and southwest chicken egg rolls.

    FAQ and expert tips

    How long does it take to cook frozen spring rolls in the air fryer? 

    It takes approximately 8 minutes to cook frozen spring rolls at 400°F in the air fryer. Once the spring rolls turn golden brown, you may take them out. Otherwise, cook for an additional 1 minute until desired crispness is achieved. 

    How do you cook frozen spring rolls from Costco? 

    Costco frozen spring rolls are best air-fried frozen. You can directly place the frozen spring rolls onto the fryer basket and cook for approximately 8 minutes until it turns golden brown. Don’t forget to shake the basket halfway through for even cooking results. 

    Do I need to defrost food before air frying? 

    No, defrosting frozen spring rolls before cooking is not needed. How the air fryer works is it defrosts, cooks, and crisps up your food by circulating hot air inside, saving you the trouble of defrosting and making cooking frozen foods easier.
