Quick Air Fryer Summer Rolls

Quick Air Fryer Summer Rolls

A crispy twist on traditional summer rolls, these air-fried beauties are filled with crunchy vegetables and savory tofu. Perfect for a quick lunch or appetizer, they're lighter than deep-fried versions but still give you that satisfying crunch. The best part? You can make them ahead and crisp them up whenever you're ready to eat!

Instructions

  1. Let's start by prepping your filling. Finely chop the onion, julienne the carrot (cut it into thin strips), shred the cabbage, and cube the tofu into small pieces.
  2. Toss all your chopped veggies and tofu in a bowl. Add a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of soy sauce. Give it all a good mix and let those flavors mingle while you prep your wrapping station.
  3. Here's a pro tip: for your dipping liquid, grab a round dish that's slightly larger than your rice paper. Fill it with warm water and add a splash of soy sauce - this will give your rolls extra flavor from the start!
  4. Lightly grease two plates with olive oil - this is super important to prevent sticking. One plate is for rolling, one is for your finished rolls.
  5. Now for the fun part! Dip a rice paper in your warm water mixture. As soon as it starts to soften (it should still have some structure), transfer it to your oiled plate.
  6. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of filling slightly below the center of your wrapper. Fold the bottom up over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll it up like a tiny burrito. Make sure it's snug - nobody likes a loose summer roll!
  7. Place your finished roll on the second oiled plate, making sure it's not touching any other rolls - trust me, they love to stick together!
  8. Before air frying, give your basket and the rolls a light spray or brush of oil. This is what's going to give you that gorgeous golden crunch.
  9. Air fry at 200°C for about 10 minutes until they're golden and crispy. You might need to work in batches depending on your air fryer size.
  10. These are best served right away while they're hot and crispy!
  11. Got leftovers? Store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days. When you want to reheat them, pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to get that crunch back - much better than using a microwave!

Serving Suggestions Instructions

  1. Try serving these with your favorite dipping sauce - sweet chili sauce, peanut sauce, or extra soy sauce all work great!
  2. Want to mix it up? Feel free to add different vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to your filling.
  3. If you're meal prepping, you can make a batch and reheat them in the air fryer whenever you need a quick meal or snack.
