What is Air Fryer Lumpiang Gulay?
Air Fryer Lumpiang Gulay is a healthier take on the classic Filipino vegetable spring rolls. Instead of deep-frying, the lumpia are cooked in an air fryer, resulting in crispy wrappers with much less oil. Filled with mixed vegetables and simple seasonings, Air Fryer Lumpiang Gulay is a go-to option for meatless meals, light snacks, or budget-friendly ulam that still feels satisfying.
Why Masarap?
Masarap ang Air Fryer Lumpiang Gulay dahil crispy pa rin sa labas kahit konti lang ang mantika. The vegetable filling stays flavorful and slightly juicy, while the wrapper turns golden and crunchy. Hindi siya mabigat sa tiyan, kaya swak sa mga gusto ng guilt-free na pritong-style food.

Air Fryer Lumpiang Gulay is best enjoyed for lunch, dinner, merienda, or as a party appetizer, especially when served fresh and hot.
