Crispy, piping hot, and irresistible with an abundance of great flavors from pork, shrimp, and vegetables, air fryer lumpia is a new lunchtime favorite.

Air Fryer Lumpia

This air fryer lumpia was inspired both by my intense love of Filipino lumpia and a desire to enjoy lumpia more frequently, with a bit less hassle. The added benefit of not frying the lumpia in oil is a pretty nice perk too. Far less mess, and air-fried lumpia gets bonus points for being a healthier option too.

Is air-fried lumpia exactly the same as deep-fried lumpia? Definitely not. However, it is crunchy, flavorful, and just as irresistible. The friends I shared it with all gave it two thumbs up and agreed that it satisfies our lumpia cravings perfectly.

While the air fryer is perfect for preparing just a serving or two at a time, if you need a meal for the whole family, you can bake lumpia too. And when you’re craving lumpia and short on time, all the lumpia flavors come together in this Filipino Lumpia Skillet. Made with a heaping helping of fresh vegetables, ground pork, and shrimp: this is a dinner that my family cheers for each time we make it.

Air Fryer Frozen Lumpia

Last time I made a batch of lumpia, I froze some to see if I might be able to cook them later, just a serving at a time in the air fryer for lunches. It turns out that was a brilliant idea – if I say so myself. The frozen lumpia cooks exactly as the fresh lumpia does in the air fryer.

To freeze a batch of lumpia, roll the lumpia as directed in the recipe and place them on a plate or tray. Set the tray of lumpia in the freezer for a few hours, until the lumpia is firm enough to transfer to a zipclose freezer bag until ready to cook.

When you’re ready to cook them, just pop the frozen lumpia into the air fryer, give them a light spray with oil, and add a minute or two to the listed cooking time.

My FAVORITE THING this week is this jewelry cleaner. If you’ve known me for long, you know that I sure do love sparkling rings, and it doesn’t especially matter whether they’re super fancy, not so fancy, or costume pieces – I like them all. Over the years, I’ve tried just about every jewelry cleaner on the market. This is my current favorite, just a few drops in some warm water and everything is sparkling.
