These Air Fryer Rice Paper Rolls also known as fried summer rollsare the perfect appetiser served with sweet chilli sauce. They’re very similar to air fryer spring rollsbut instead of using spring roll wrappers, we’re using rice paper wrappers. Filled with a simple, customisable fillingthey’re juicy, crispy, and so tasty. I really hope you enjoy them!

I used to work at a Vietnamese restaurant and would make summer rolls on repeat. Summer rolls have a fresh filling consisting of prawns, carrots, cucumber, vermicelli noodlesand herbs. They’re best served fresh. Spring rolls on the other hand have a cooked filling consisting of ground meatsliced carrot, celery, shiitake mushrooms, and seasonings. They’re then deep-fried and served with sweet chili sauce.
What we have here is a gorgeous marriage of two rolls: Vietnamese summer rolls and Chinese spring rolls. Because we’ve got the filling of a Chinese spring roll and the wrapper of a Vietnamese summer roll. We’re then air frying them instead of deep frying them (healthier and easier), resulting in a hot, crispy, delicious bite!
