Air Fryer Rice Paper Chips Recipe
Introduction
Air fryer rice paper chips are a deliciously light and crispy snack that’s easy to make at home. With customizable seasoning options, these chips offer a flavorful crunch perfect for dipping or enjoying on their own.
Ingredients
- 6–8 rice paper sheets spring roll wrappers
- Warm water for soaking
- For Basic Chips: ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- For Everything Bagel Version: 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning, pinch of garlic powder
- For Spicy Chili Version: 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon salt, pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Soak each rice paper sheet for 15–30 seconds, just until they become pliable but not soggy. Lay the sheets on a clean towel and gently pat dry.
- Step 2: While the rice paper is still damp, evenly sprinkle your chosen seasoning over the surface. Gently press the seasoning into the paper with clean hands to help it stick. Let the sheets rest for 1–2 minutes before air frying.
- Step 3: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the rice paper sheets in a single layer in the basket (a little overlap is fine). Air fry for 4–6 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and crisp. Remove and cool on a wire rack for about 30 seconds.
- Step 4: Break the cooled rice paper into chip-sized pieces. Serve immediately for the best crunch!
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, try brushing a light coat of olive oil on the rice paper before seasoning.
- Adjust the chili powder and cayenne to customize the spiciness to your taste.
- Use a mix of dried herbs like oregano or thyme for a unique twist on the basic seasoning.
- Ensure the rice paper is not over-soaked to avoid soggy chips.
Storage
Store leftover rice paper chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To maintain crispiness, avoid refrigerating. Reheat briefly in the air fryer for 1–2 minutes if they lose crunch.
