Crispy, golden, and packed with savory goodness, these Air Fryer Rice Paper Noodle Rolls are the ultimate snack or light meal. With a thin rice paper wrapper that crisps up beautifully in the air fryer and a filling of glass noodles, veggies, and bold seasonings, each bite delivers a satisfying crunch followed by a soft, flavorful center.


Perfect for those looking for a healthier alternative to deep-fried spring rolls, this recipe is air-fried to golden perfection using minimal oil. Plus, they’re gluten-free, easy to make ahead, and endlessly customizable with your favorite fillings like tofu, ground chicken, or mushrooms.
What Kind of Rice Paper Should I Use?
For this recipe, go with the standard 22cm round rice paper sheets that soften easily in warm water. Avoid thicker brown rice paper or ones that are meant for frying in oil, as they won’t crisp up as nicely in the air fryer. The key is to wrap them tightly and let them sit for a few minutes before air frying to let the moisture balance out.
Ingredients for the Air Fryer Rice Paper Noodle Rolls
- Rice Paper Wrappers – The star of the show; when air fried, they crisp up and provide a satisfying crunch without deep frying.
- Glass Noodles (Vermicelli) – A chewy, neutral base that soaks up the flavors of the filling.
- Cabbage and Carrots – Shredded finely to add texture, fiber, and a pop of color.
- Green Onions – Brings brightness and a mild kick.
- Soy Sauce & Sesame Oil – Infuses umami flavor and nutty depth into the noodles.
- Garlic & Ginger – Essential aromatics that make the filling irresistibly fragrant.
- Oil Spray – To lightly coat the rolls before air frying for a crispy finish.
How To Make the Air Fryer Rice Paper Noodle Rolls
Step 1: Prep the Filling
Boil the glass noodles according to package instructions, drain, and rinse under cold water. In a mixing bowl, toss the noodles with soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, finely shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions.
Step 2: Assemble the Rolls
Dip one rice paper sheet in warm water for about 10 seconds until softened. Place it on a damp surface and spoon a small amount of the noodle mixture onto the center. Fold the sides inward and roll it up tightly like a burrito.
Step 3: Let Them Rest
Place the rolls on a tray and let them sit for 3-5 minutes. This helps the wrappers dry out a bit and achieve that perfect crisp in the air fryer.
Step 4: Air Fry to Perfection
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F. Lightly spray each roll with oil and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crisp.

How to Serve and Store Air Fryer Rice Paper Noodle Rolls
Serve these rolls hot with a dipping sauce like soy-chili garlic, peanut hoisin, or sweet chili sauce. They’re perfect as an appetizer, lunchbox treat, or party snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes to bring back that crispy texture.
