Egg Rolls that you get at the Asian restaurant are so much more fattening because they are deep fried in oil and these air fryer egg rolls are so much healthier!
I took my popular recipe for Egg Roll in a Bowl and made that tasty concoction into actual egg rolls and I didn't know why I waited so long to do that! It's so stupid easy! One of my Instagram readers had made a comment when I posted Egg Roll in a Bowl and she said she had turned the recipe into egg rolls. That is a pretty great idea and she had cooked them in her air fryer. If you're not following me on Instagram please do so now. 🙂

Why You Will Love This Recipe
I use a bag of shredded coleslaw mix for this. Some coleslaw mixes do not come with carrots in them but if you find ones that don't just add in some chopped carrots. This is basically the same recipe I use for Egg Roll in a Bowl.
I also used some ground chicken and ground chicken is really easy to make on your own if you have a food processor. I just add the chicken to the food processor and that does the work for you!
Egg roll wrappers are usually found by the produce aisle and I always like to keep a bottle of Soy Sauce and Sesame oil in my pantry.
Ingredients Needed
- Ginger - get the ground up fresh ginger that comes in a tube, it's a life saver!
- Coleslaw mix - this comes in bags at the store of shredded cabbage and carrots
- Low sodium soy sauce - Coconut Aminos is a great substitute for Soy Sauce
- Ground chicken breast - Can sub ground pork, turkey, or turkey sausage
- Egg Roll Wrappers - I only used 8 of them
- Egg - for brushing on the egg roll wrappers
- See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
How to Make Air Fryer Egg Rolls
Step 1 Brown the sausage/meat in a medium non stick skillet until cooked all the way through and then add the ginger. Add soy sauce and sesame oil.
Step 2 Add full bag of coleslaw, stir till coated with sauce. Add chopped scallions, mix thoroughly and cook on medium high heat until the cole slaw has reduced by half.
Step 3 Set the egg roll mixture aside. Lay egg roll wrap in front of you so that it looks like a diamond. Place 3 tablespoons of filling in center of egg roll wrapper.
Step 4 Brush each edge with egg wash. Fold bottom point up over filling and roll once. Fold in right and left points. Finish rolling.
Step 5 Set aside and repeat with remaining filling.
Step 6 Heat Air Fryer to (370ºF). Set your stuffed egg rolls on the bottom of the air fryer basket and fry for 7 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Tips for using Air Fryers
The air fryer is so great for cooking simple basic food like air fryer bacon wrapped chicken breast, air fryer steak, and air fryer hard-boiled eggs. Cook up some air fryer chicken breasts for the week and use the chicken for quesadillas, crispy cobb salad, or DIY chipotle burrito bowls to use for lunch or dinner.
Some air fryers require preheating and some do not. Be sure to check your air fryer manual. If the food ever burns or doesn’t cook properly this could be why the recipe didn’t work for you.
Overcrowding: Do not overcrowd the basket. Place items in a single layer in the air fryer basket or some food will not cook properly or all the way through.
What air fryer do I use? Cosori 4 Qt Air Fryer- This air fryer doesn't require any preheating and has several different functions for cooking chicken, meat, frozen foods, etc. There are 5 different functions.
Recipe FAQs

I wouldn't personally freeze them. The texture of the tortilla might not be right after air heating them up a second time.
Kelly says
Can these be frozen for later use? If so, frozen after cooked in air fryer or before cooked in air fryer? Thanks
Chacha says
Yummy, thanks for sharing the recipe! I made it just the way you said with some chopped mushrooms and will certainly make again.
