Crispy Garlic Lumpia Chips (Printer View)

Thin, crunchy lumpia chips infused with aromatic garlic, ideal for snacking or dipping.

# What you'll need:

→ Lumpia Wrapper

01 - 10 lumpia (spring roll) wrappers

→ Garlic & Oil

02 - 3 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., canola or vegetable)
03 - 4 large garlic cloves, minced
04 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Garnish (optional)

06 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives

# Method:

01 - Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for 3 minutes.
02 - Stack the lumpia wrappers and cut into thin strips or triangles approximately 1.2 inches (3 cm) wide.
03 - Heat oil gently in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until golden and aromatic, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
04 - Place the sliced wrappers into a large bowl. Drizzle the garlic-infused oil over them, season with sea salt and black pepper, and toss gently to ensure even coating.
05 - Place the coated wrapper strips in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding. Fry in batches if necessary.
06 - Air-fry for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chips are golden brown and crisp.
07 - Remove the chips and cool on a wire rack. Repeat the frying process with remaining wrappers.
08 - Optionally garnish with chopped parsley or chives. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in less than half an hour and use ingredients you probably already have tucked away.
  • The garlic oil coats every inch, giving you that deep, savory flavor without the heaviness of frying.
  • Theyre endlessly adaptable you can make them spicy, smoky, or keep them simple and let the crunch do the talking.
02 -
  • If you let the garlic get too dark in the oil, it will taste bitter and ruin the whole batch, so keep the heat low and watch it carefully.
  • Overcrowding the air fryer basket traps steam and prevents the chips from getting crispy, so patience with small batches pays off every time.
03 -
  • Use kitchen scissors instead of a knife for faster, more controlled cutting, especially if the wrappers are slightly frozen.
  • Toss the finished chips with a tiny pinch of sugar along with the salt to balance the garlic and add a subtle caramelized note.
