To prepare, you can bake or air fry these mini egg rolls. For baking, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook in a preheated oven until golden brown and heated through. Air frying offers a crispier result; place them in the air fryer basket and cook for a few minutes, flipping halfway. They are best served hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili or soy sauce.
