Blistered, crackly wrappers from frozen or fresh, with none of the deep-frying.
Spring roll wrappers are engineered to be fried, so they need oil to blister. A brush rather than a spray gives more control and stops the thin pastry drying out at the edges.

Ingredients
Serves 4 · tap to check off
- 12 spring rolls, fresh or frozen
- 1 tbsp neutral oil, for brushing
- Sweet chilli sauce, to serve
Method
- Brush. Brush each roll lightly all over with oil, paying attention to the seams.
- Space. Lay them out in a single layer with a gap between each. They stick if they touch.
- Air fry. Cook at 390°F for 10 minutes, turning once, until blistered and golden.
- Serve. Rest 2 minutes so the filling stops being molten, then serve with sauce.
Test-kitchen tip
Cook frozen spring rolls straight from the freezer. Thawed ones go soggy and split at the seams.
