When you think of egg rolls, your mind probably goes to the traditional type from a takeout joint filled with cabbage and pork. But there are so many different varieties beyond those! These air fryer antipasto egg rolls incorporate your favorite Italian flavors in a perfectly crispy snack.

Why Youβll Love This Recipe
Sure you can browse the frozen section at the store or order takeout to get your egg roll fix. However, youβre limited as to the fillings you can find available.
When you make your own homemade egg rolls, the possibilities are endless! Whether you go Italian with these antipasto egg rolls, or embrace your Irish side with Air Fryer Reuben Egg Rolls, there are lots of delicious combinations.
Sure, it takes a little time to fill and roll them all, but I promise itβs worth it. You can also roll your egg rolls in advance and cook them when youβre ready, which saves a lot of time when youβre entertaining.

The air fryer does a great job of delivering a crispy exterior with perfectly melted cheese and warm insides, without all the oil needed for deep frying!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

How to Make Air Fryer Antipasto Egg Rolls
- Cut your deli ham slices and provolone slices in half, so you now have 12 of each

- Lay an egg roll wrapper down on a flat surface oriented to form a diamond shape

- To the bottom half of the egg roll wrapper, add a slice of ham, slice of provolone, 3 slices pepperoni, 2 banana pepper rings, a hefty pinch of mozzarella cheese (about Β½ Tbsp), and a couple pinches each of parmesan cheese (about Β½ tsp) and dried oregano (about ΒΌ tsp)

- Wet about Β½β of the entire outside edge of the egg roll wrapper with water using your finger (I recommend just keeping a little cup of water nearby)

- Fold the bottom corner up over top of the filling, pressing down to secure the point where it meets the wrapper

- Now, fold the right and left sides in, also pressing to secure the corners

- Roll the enclosed filling away from you, until it is completely wrapped, and make sure to again press and seal the final corner

- Repeat until all your egg rolls are rolled

- Preheat your air fryer to 400Β°F
- Place the egg rolls into the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer

- Spritz the wrappers with a little oil mist or nonstick oil spray

- Cook on the air fry setting for 10 minutes at 400Β°F, pausing halfway through to flip and reapply oil

Recipe FAQs
How Do You Crisp Egg Rolls in an Air Fryer?
To crisp egg rolls in an air fryer, cook at a high temperature of 400Β°F (200Β°C). Coat the wrapper with a light misting of oil. Turn halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
The biggest deterrent to crispiness is moisture, so make sure not to include extremely wet ingredients inside your wrapper.
Can You Freeze Egg Rolls?
Yes, you can freeze egg rolls for up to 3 months.
They may be cooked from frozen or defrosted state. Add 2-3 more minutes if youβre cooking from frozen.
Can You Make Egg Rolls in Advance?
Yes, you can make egg rolls in advance. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook or reheat them.
Reheating takes about half the time of cooking, so if youβll be in a hurry when you need them you can also cook them in advance in addition to wrapping them.
Recipe Pro Tips
- Remember the filling is very adjustable so if you want more or less of something (or run out because your deli counter was feeling wacky) you can just adjust on the flyΒ
- Note that itβs normal for a small amount of cheese to break through and leak out during cooking. Itβs never too bad, but donβt think you did something wrong if it happens
- I have an 8-qt Ninja Dual Zone air fryer and can cook 8-10 egg rolls at a time depending how thick the rolls are. You may need to cook in batches if you have a smaller air fryer

Storage and Reheating
- Store leftover egg rolls in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months
- To reheat antipasto egg rolls, cook in the air fryer for 5-6 minutes at 350Β°F or until warmed through (I recommend flipping halfway through). You can also pop them in a conventional oven for about 10 minutes at 400Β°F
