Ingredients

1 medium carrot
½ small onion
1 bag coleslaw mix 14 ounces
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons sodium reduced soy sauce
3 cups warm water
16 rice paper rolls

Instructions

Peel and shred carrot. Dice onion into small pieces. Set shredded carrot and diced onion aside.
Add coleslaw mix, shredded carrot, diced onion, spices and soy sauce to a large saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until the filling is soft and the onions are translucent. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
Add warm water to a shallow dish or saucepan. The dish needs to be wide enough to fit a rice paper roll. Fill until there is about an inch of water in the bottom.
Gently place one rice paper roll in the water. Remove it from water, place on a large plate and let sit for 30 seconds or until the rice paper roll softens.
Place rice paper roll on a plate. Spoon 3 tablespoons of filling onto the top of the rice paper roll. Leave about a ½ inch of space at the top.
Gently fold the top of the rice paper roll on top of the filling.
Gently fold over one side of the rice paper roll.
Repeat with the other side.
Starting at the top of the roll where the filling is, gently roll the filling and rice paper until you get to the bottom of the roll. Use fingers to gently seal the roll. Place roll on a lightly greased plate or pan.
Repeat with remaining rice paper rolls or until all of the filling has been used.
Heat air fryer to 375F. Once air fryer is heated, place spring rolls in a single layer ensuring you leave some space between the spring rolls.
Cook for 7 minutes. Use tongs to gently flip spring rolls and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the spring rolls are golden and crispy. Remove spring rolls from air fryer and let cool slightly before eating. Repeat with remaining spring rolls. Makes 18 spring rolls.

Notes

If you prefer extra crispy spring rolls, spray rolls with olive oil cooking spray before cooking.

Be sure to cook the spring rolls in a single layer in the air fryer. This allows the rolls to get crispy and it will also allow them to cook evenly.

Air Fryer Spring Rolls can be stored in an airtight container or bag in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat spring rolls, place in the air fryer or oven until they reach your desired temperature.

Air Fryer Spring Rolls freeze well. Place rolls on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer rolls to a freezer safe container or bag and freeze up to three months. Air Fryer Spring Rolls can be removed from the freezer and placed directly into the oven or air fryer when you are ready to eat more. It won't be long....trust me!
