Not really, but air fryer can mimic the results of deep-frying using only hot air and a small amount of oil. The rapid circulation of hot air around the food makes it crisp. It is not going to taste the same as deep-fried food but is going to be much better than oven-fried food.
Air Fried Egg Rolls
Yields 18 egg rolls
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon canola oil
500 grams (1.1 pounds) ground pork
1 medium carrot, grated
½ small cabbage, thinly sliced (in a food processor) or 4 cups ready to us of coleslaw mix
½ bunch scallions, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoon grated ginger
3 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoon sesame oil
1 egg, beaten

Stir in the cabbage or coleslaw mix, carrots, and scallions. Cooked until cabbage is wilted, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Stir the soy sauce and sesame oil. Remove from heat.
Put approximately 2-3 tablespoons of filling onto each egg roll wrapper. Brush edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg. Fold according to package directions.
