Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Filling:
In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped green onions, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined and colorful.
Assemble the Spring Rolls:
Lay a wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon 2 tablespoons of filling near one edge and fold the sides inward before rolling tightly from the filling edge.
Spray with Oil:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray each roll with vegetable oil; this step is crucial for achieving that extra crispiness.
Air Fry Them Up:
Place the filled rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown and super crispy.
Serve Hot with Dipping Sauce:
Once cooked to perfection, serve immediately with soy sauce or sweet chili sauce on the side. Enjoy while still warm!
Garnish Your Plate:
If feeling fancy (or Instagrammable), garnish your serving platter with fresh herbs or sesame seeds before serving—it does wonders!
