Wow! My whole family LOVES these healthy Air Fryer Spring Rolls. The star ingredients are cabbage, carrots, lean chicken, garlic, and ginger. Since they are cooked in an air fryer, they are not covered in oil. In fact, you only need to lightly spray them with cooking oil before cooking them in the air fryer.

How to Make these Air Fryer Spring Rolls Even Healthier (Optional)
If you want to make them even healthier, you can add a little shredded kale to your slaw before sauteing the slaw mixture in the skillet. You can also add a few extra carrots for an extra vegetable boost.
Serving Size: 12 Spring Rolls
Materials
Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 4 cups pre-packaged southern slaw (14 oz)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger (Make sure the fresh ginger is peeled and grated)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tablespoon soy sauce, low sodium
- 1/2 teaspoon chili paste
- 12 spring roll wrappers
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Cook the ground chicken, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger, and 1 clove of minced garlic in a medium skillet on medium-high heat for about 9 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink. While the chicken is cooking, use a spatial to break up and stir the chicken into small bite-size pieces.
- Remove chicken from heat and add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon of chili paste. Stir until the soy sauce and chili paste is well mixed into the chicken.
- Set the chicken aside.
- Heat avocado oil in a medium skillet on medium-high heat for about 1 minute.
- Add the slaw, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger, 2 cloves of minced garlic. Saute for about 4 minutes.
- Reduce to low heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon of chili paste.
- Add the chicken into the slaw. Stir for about 2 minutes or until the chicken and slaw is evenly mixed and warm.
- Place warm water in a large bowl. Then place one spring roll wrapper into the bowl. Move the wrapper around until the entire wrapper is slightly wet.
- Gently place the damp wrapper on parchment paper or a non-stick cutting board.
- Place about 1/2 cup of the chicken-slaw mixture on top of one end of the slightly damp spring roll.
- Gently roll the spring roll and fold the ends down. Since the spring roll is damp, the ends should stick to the spring roll. Repeat the last 3 steps for each individual spring roll.
- Spray the top and bottom on each egg roll and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Try not to let the spring rolls touch each other. My air fryer cooks about 4 spring rolls at a time. So I repeat the air fryer process 3 times in order to cook all 12 spring rolls.
- Cook the spring rolls at 400 degrees for 14 minutes in the air fryer. Flip the spring rolls halfway though. (Cook each roll for about 7 minutes on each side).
- Carefully remove spring rolls from the air fryer with tongs. The spring rolls will be hot.
