Step 3: Prepare the Air Fryer

• Mist a new sheet of parchment paper with oil and place it in the air fryer basket.
• Arrange the egg rolls seam side down with space in between.
• Lightly mist the tops of the egg rolls with oil.

Step 4: Air Fry

• Flip the egg rolls over, mist again, and air fry for another 5 minutes until golden and crispy.

Step 5: Serve
