Key Ingredients for Fiber-Rich Spring Rolls
To make these spring rolls extra nutritious, we’ll be using Sandhu's Sunfiber, a prebiotic fiber powder that easily blends into recipes. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- 1 scoop Sandhu's Sunfiber (Prebiotic Fiber Powder)
- 8 rice paper wrappers or spring roll wrappers
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 cup julienned carrots
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 1/2 cup cooked and shredded chicken or tofu (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

How to Make Fiber-Rich Air Fryer Spring Rolls
- Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions. If using chicken or tofu, add that in as well. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and soy sauce, then drizzle with sesame oil. Finally, mix in 1 scoop of Sandhu's Sunfiber to enrich your rolls with gut-friendly fiber. Toss everything together until well combined.
- Wrap the Spring Rolls
Prepare a clean surface and lay out a rice paper wrapper. If using traditional spring roll wrappers, follow the package instructions for softening. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold the bottom over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Air Fry to Crispy Perfection
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the spring rolls in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch for even cooking. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray for extra crispiness. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy
Once done, remove from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce like sweet chili sauce or soy sauce. The contrast of the crispy wrapper and the flavorful filling makes each bite delightful!
Tips for the Best Air Fryer Spring Rolls
- Avoid Overfilling: Too much filling can make rolling difficult and cause the wrapper to tear.
- Keep the Wrappers Damp: If using rice paper, work with one sheet at a time to prevent drying out.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Air Fryer: Cook in batches if necessary to allow proper air circulation.
- Check Cooking Times: Depending on your air fryer model, times may vary. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
