The air fryer has revolutionised the way we prepare Filipino lumpia, those delightful spring rolls that are a staple of Filipino cuisine. Traditionally deep-fried, these crispy parcels can now be enjoyed guilt-free with the help of this innovative kitchen gadget. The air fryer circulates hot air, creating a beautifully golden and crisp exterior while keeping the filling succulent and flavourful.

To make them, simply wrap a mixture of minced pork, shrimp, and finely chopped vegetables in spring roll wrappers, brush them lightly with oil, and place them in the air fryer. Within a matter of minutes, you’ll have a batch of perfectly cooked lumpia that's not only delicious but also much lighter than their fried counterparts. Serve them with a sweet and tangy dipping sauce, and you’ve got a crowd-pleasing snack or appetiser that showcases the vibrant flavours of the Philippines, all without the excessive oil.
