I love how Taste Air Fryer Rice Paper Noodle Rolls come out crisp and light. I make them when I want a fast dinner that still feels special.

My Dad James showed me how to roll them, and Mom Eva always made the best dipping sauce. Sister Jennifer ate the first one every time.

What You’ll Need

  • Rice paper sheets
  • Rice noodles
  • Fresh vegetables (like bell peppers, carrots, and cucumbers)
  • Tofu or protein of choice
  • Soy sauce or tamari
  • Sesame oil
  • Fresh herbs (like mint and cilantro)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for air frying

My Trusted Kitchen Tools

I use a medium bowl for wetting the rice paper, a sharp knife, and a cutting board. My air fryer is small and fast. I also picked up timing tips from my air fryer nachos guide to help get the right crisp.

Bringing It All Together

  • Cook rice noodles and let them cool.
  • Slice vegetables and protein into thin strips.
  • Dip a rice paper sheet into warm water until soft.
  • Place a small amount of noodles, vegetables, protein, and herbs on the bottom third.
  • Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly from the bottom up.
  • Repeat with remaining sheets and filling.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Lightly spray or brush the rolls with oil and place them in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  • Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Making It Your Own (Swaps & Ideas)

Swap tofu for shrimp or thin chicken strips for more protein. Try crunchy slaw instead of sliced cucumbers for extra bite. For a spicy snack on the side, pair these with my crispy air fryer banana pepper coins.

How We Love to Serve It

We serve these with a simple soy-sesame dip or a sweet chili sauce. I like to add lime wedges and extra herbs on the side. Kids love a mild peanut sauce.

A Few Tips For Success

Do not overfill the rice paper or they will burst. Wet each sheet just until soft, not soggy. Give space between rolls in the air fryer so the air can flow. Check them a minute early the first time you try this.

Saving Some For Later

Store cooled rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 to 5 minutes to bring back the crisp. Do not freeze once cooked; the texture will change.
