Well, reheating frozen egg rolls is possible! However, bringing them to their signature delicious crispiness is not that easy.

Yes, like every other frozen food item, reheating egg rolls is possible in the air fryer. Once you try, you will find egg rolls cooked in the air fryer are far superior to those reheated in the microwave.

Why Should I Use an Air Fryer to Warm-Up Egg Rolls? 

Let me list some reasons for reheating egg rolls in an air fryer: 

• Crispier Than Soggy: 

The air fryer circulates heat all around the food and cooks the food from the inside out. Therefore, it is the best kitchen electronic to reheat leftover egg rolls because it makes them crispy rather than soggy.

• Healthier: 

It’s healthier to warm-up egg or spring rolls in the air fryer because they will not need a lot of oil. You may spray them with extra virgin olive oil to re-crisp them, and still, they will not go mushy.

Expert’s Tips: 

There are a few things you should know if you’d like your egg rolls to be spectacular.

Coat of Oil – The outer layer needs a coating – whether you use egg wash or extra virgin olive oil, your egg rolls will need one of these to get crispier.

Flip Them Mid Way – Halfway through the reheating process, flip the rolls to ensure that they are cooked evenly from both sides. They will get crispy on the outside and juicy inside if you flip them over.

Vegan or Non-Vegan – If your egg rolls have a meat or fish filling, keep in mind that you can only reheat them once after they’ve been thoroughly cooked. Buy vegetarian egg rolls if you plan on reheating your egg rolls more than once.

Cook in Small Batches – If you have a lot of leftovers, reheat them in smaller batches so you can warm them up properly and avoid them from sticking together.

Shelf Life – You should consume market-bought frozen egg rolls within two days of purchase. The markets have them in storage before you bring them home. They are already not-so-fresh. So, remember to reheat and eat within a two-day timeframe.
