Ingredients
For the Cheese Rolls
8 spring roll wrappers
8 mozzarella cheese sticks (cut in half if large) or 2 cups shredded mozzarella
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (optional, for extra creaminess)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
Cooking spray or olive oil spray
Optional Dipping Sauces
Marinara sauce
Ranch dressing
Garlic aioli
Sweet chili sauce
Instructions
Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, combine:
Mozzarella
Cheddar cheese
Cream cheese
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Italian seasoning
Paprika
Chopped parsley
Mix until well combined.
Assemble the Rolls
Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you.
Place 2–3 tablespoons of the cheese filling near the bottom corner.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in both sides.
Roll tightly toward the top corner.
Brush the top corner with beaten egg and seal tightly.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
Air Fry
Lightly spray both sides of the cheese rolls with cooking spray.
Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each roll.
Air fry for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
If needed, cook for an additional 1–2 minutes for extra crispiness.
Serve
Let the cheese rolls cool for 2–3 minutes before serving, as the filling will be very hot.
Serve with marinara, ranch, garlic aioli, or sweet chili sauce.
Tips
Freeze the assembled rolls for 10 minutes before air frying to help prevent cheese from leaking.
Avoid overfilling the wrappers.
Keep unused spring roll wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
Experiment with different cheeses such as pepper jack, Monterey Jack, gouda, or provolone.
