These Healthy Air Fryer Veggie Spring Rolls are a crispy, wholesome snack packed with colorful vegetables and bursting with fresh flavor. They’re easy to roll, quick to cook, and deliver all the comfort of classic spring rolls with a lighter, air-fried twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 spring roll wrappers (rice paper or wheat-based)
  • 1 cup finely shredded cabbage
  • 1 large carrot, julienned or grated
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red or yellow bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms (shiitake or cremini)
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooking spray or oil for misting (avocado or neutral oil)
  • Optional: chopped cilantro, shredded spinach, or tofu bits

Instructions

  1. Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Slice cabbage, carrot, bell pepper, mushrooms, and green onions into thin strips or small pieces. Rinse and pat dry bean sprouts if using.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just tender but not mushy.
  4. Add bean sprouts and green onions; cook for another 1 minute. Stir in soy sauce. Remove from heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
  5. Lay out spring roll wrappers. If using rice paper, fill a shallow bowl with warm water and dip each wrapper for about 10 seconds, then lay flat on a clean kitchen towel. For wheat wrappers, use straight from the package.
  6. Place 2-3 tablespoons of veggie mixture in the center of each wrapper. Fold the sides in, then roll tightly like a mini burrito. Seal edges with a dab of water if needed. Repeat until all filling is used (about 12 rolls).
  7. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
  8. Lightly mist rolls with cooking spray or brush with oil. Arrange rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each.
  9. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway and misting again for extra crispiness. Rolls should be golden brown and firm.
  10. Transfer to a cooling rack for 2 minutes to keep them crispy.
  11. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce—soy sauce, sweet chili, or peanut sauce.

Notes

Don’t overfill the rolls to prevent bursting. Pre-cook veggies briefly to avoid soggy filling. Let rolls cool on a rack for maximum crispiness. For gluten-free, use rice paper wrappers and tamari. Rolls can be baked at 400°F for 15-18 minutes if you don’t have an air fryer. Practice rolling for best results—first few may look imperfect but will still taste great.
