    🔸️Place egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don't touch. You may need to cook in batches.

Notes

🔹️Don’t overfill: Too much filling will make the egg rolls difficult to seal and may cause them to burst during cooking.
🔹️Seal properly: Make sure to brush the edges with beaten egg and press firmly to prevent opening during cooking.
🔹️Don’t overcrowd: Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning and crispiness.
🔹️Oil is key: A light coating of oil helps achieve that golden, crispy exterior.
🔹️Serve immediately: Egg rolls are best served hot and fresh from the air fryer.
