These crispy air fryer rice paper noodle rolls are a quick, easy, and customizable snack or meal option that delivers a satisfying crunch without deep frying. Perfect for busy weeknights or parties, they combine tender noodles and fresh fillings wrapped in a golden, crispy exterior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Rice paper wrappers (round, thin, about 8-inch diameter)
  • 100g (3.5 oz) rice vermicelli noodles
  • Protein options: cooked shrimp, shredded chicken, or thinly sliced tofu (pressed and marinated)
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1/2 cucumber, julienned
  • Handful of bean sprouts
  • About 10 fresh mint leaves
  • About 10 fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • Optional chili flakes or sriracha for heat
  • Oil spray for air fryer basket

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice vermicelli noodles in boiling water for 5-7 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare fillings: julienne carrot and cucumber, chop bean sprouts, and pick fresh herbs. If using tofu, press and cube 150g (5 oz) tofu, then marinate with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 minced garlic clove for 10 minutes.
  3. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper for about 5 seconds until soft but still pliable. Lay flat on a clean surface.
  4. Place a small handful of noodles, some veggies, herbs, and protein in the center of the wrapper, leaving edges free. Fold sides over and roll tightly.
  5. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil or use a non-stick liner.
  6. Place rolls in a single layer without overlapping. Spray tops lightly with oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then gently flip and cook another 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Do not over-soak the rice paper wrappers; a quick 5-second dip is enough to keep them pliable but still crisp after air frying. Spray a light coat of oil on the rolls before air frying to achieve a golden crunch. Flip rolls halfway through cooking for even crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. If you don’t have an air fryer, baking at 400°F (205°C) on a wire rack for 12-15 minutes can be used but may not be as crispy.
