How do you keep egg rolls crispy all day?

Keeping egg rolls crispy all day is quite easy if you follow these steps.

Step 1
You must dry all your filling before you fill it in the egg rolls if you’re making egg rolls from scratch. Meaning after washing the veggies, and cutting them you have to dry them using a paper towel. Squeeze the moisture as much as you can. Even if you’re using any protein filling, squeeze the moisture out.

The more moisture you remove the egg wrap roll stays dry and will result in crispy egg rolls.

Step 2
Cool your egg rolls on a wire rack rather than on a paper towel. Putting on a rack helps the egg roll cool down easily and let the oil drip off if there is some excess amount of oil this helps to make your egg rolls crispy.

If you place the egg rolls on a paper towel then the oil from the egg rolls will settle underneath the rolls and they will easily get soggy.

Step 3
If you’re cooking frozen egg rolls, avoid using oil spray because there is enough oil in the wrapper. Just air fry it and get the crispy egg rolls.

If you follow these steps while making egg rolls in air fryer, your egg rolls will be crispy throughout the day.

Why are my egg rolls soggy?

Egg rolls usually get soggy because of the excessively wet fillings. To avoid this, you should always drain and dry the vegetables before using them.

How do you use frozen egg roll wrappers?

Egg roll wrappers are usually thin and layered with waxed paper. It’s easy to take out the frozen egg roll sheets and use them.

For that, you need to let them thaw at room temperature. Once they are soft enough you can use them and fill them in with your favorite fillings. If you don’t thaw them before use there is a high chance of breaking the frozen egg roll wrappers.

How do you reheat egg rolls in air fryer?

Reheat your air fryer to 350F degrees for 2-3 minutes.
Place the leftover egg rolls in your air fryer basket in a single layer don’t overcrowd. Reheat them for 5-6 minutes in the air fryer and flip them halfway through cooking which will give you the best-frozen egg rolls in air fryer.
