Crispy Air Fryer Thai Spring Rolls filled with savory pork and vegetables, perfect for a snack or appetizer. Ready in under 45 minutes! Spring rolls are a beloved appetizer found across East and Southeast Asian cuisine.
Did You Know?
Spring rolls originated in China and spread throughout Southeast Asia. Vietnamese versions use rice paper while Thai versions often use wheat-based wrappers for extra crispiness.
Pro Tips
Let the filling cool completely before wrapping to prevent soggy wrappers. Roll tightly and seal with flour paste to prevent opening during cooking.
Storage & Meal Prep
Uncooked spring rolls can be frozen on a parchment-lined tray, then transferred to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Air fry directly from frozen, adding 2-3 extra minutes.
What to Serve With
Serve with sweet chili sauce, soy-lime dipping sauce, or peanut sauce. A side of jasmine rice and cucumber salad completes the meal.
