Why You’ll Love These Crunchy Air Fryer Rice Paper Noodle Rolls

From the crispy exterior to the flavorful filling, these rice paper noodle rolls are simply irresistible. They’re crunchy, satisfying, and versatile—perfect for a light lunch or as an appetizer for that upcoming dinner party! Plus, they’re healthier than traditional spring rolls since we’re using the air fryer instead of deep-frying. It’s like giving classic comfort food a delicious make-over!

Ingredients

To make these delightful rolls, you will need:

• 1 package rice paper wrappers
• 1 ½ cups cooked rice noodles
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• Cooking spray or olive oil spray
• Optional: fresh herbs (like mint or cilantro), for added flavor

Directions

Ready? Let’s get rolling (pun intended!).

1. Prep the Filling: In a bowl, stir together cooked rice noodles, shredded carrots, bean sprouts, and cabbage. Add in soy sauce and sesame oil for that kick of flavor. If you love fresh herbs, feel free to toss in some mint or cilantro at this point. It’s like a garden explosion in your bowl!

2. Soak the Rice Paper: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. One by one, dip your rice paper wrappers in the warm water for about 10-15 seconds until they become pliable. Remember, patience is key here!

3. Fill and Roll: Place the soaked rice paper on a clean surface. Add a spoonful of your filling mixture in the middle, and fold the sides inward before rolling it tightly from the bottom up, like a burrito but without the calories (okay, maybe not all the calories).

4. Spray and Arrange: Once you’ve rolled up all your noodle rolls, lightly spray them with cooking spray. This is where the air fryer magic happens! Arrange the rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

5. Air Fry to Perfection: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the rolls for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through to ensure equal crunch on all sides.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove from the air fryer and serve with your favorite dipping sauce. I recommend a classic peanut sauce or a zesty hoisin sauce that’ll make you feel like a gourmet chef at home!

Cooking Tips

• Don’t Panic if Things Get Sticky: It’s okay if some of your rice paper wrappers tear during the rolling process. Just think of it as adding character, and keep on rolling!
• Customize the Filling: Feel free to mix and match the ingredients. Got leftover veggies? Throw them in! Love extra protein? Add shrimp or chicken. Just remember, it’s all about personalizing your meal to suit your taste.
• Dipping Sauce: The right sauce can elevate your dish. Experiment with some homemade options or store-bought favorites that bring out those delightful flavors.
