4 Servings
Ingredients
- 10 frozen lumpia store-bought or homemade
- Cooking spray or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for brushing
- Dipping sauce of choice optional, such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce with calamansi, or vinegar with garlic and chili flakes
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare the Lumpia
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Lightly coat the frozen lumpia with cooking spray or brush them with a small amount of oil. This step enhances crispiness and gives the lumpia a golden-brown appearance.
Arrange and Cook the Lumpia
- Place the lumpia in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. This allows proper air circulation for even cooking.
- Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 8 minutes. Carefully flip each lumpia over using tongs or a spatula to ensure uniform crispness.
- Continue cooking for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the air fryer model and the thickness of the lumpia.
Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the lumpia from the air fryer and allow them to cool for 2 minutes before serving, as the filling may be extremely hot.
- Serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauce, such as:Sweet chili sauce – A balance of sweetness and mild heat.Soy sauce with calamansi or lime – A tangy and savory combination.Vinegar with garlic and chili flakes – A bold and slightly spicy option.
Notes
To make this recipe gluten-free, ensure the lumpia wrappers are made from rice paper or certified gluten-free spring roll wrappers. Additionally, verify that the dipping sauces used do not contain soy sauce with wheat or any gluten-based additives. Gluten-free soy sauce (tamari) or coconut aminos are excellent alternatives.
