Crispy Garlic Lumpia Chips (Printable Version)

Thin, crunchy lumpia wrapper chips infused with garlic, air-fried to a golden crisp for snacking.

# What You'll Need:

→ Lumpia Wrapper

01 - 10 lumpia (spring roll) wrappers

→ Garlic & Oil

02 - 3 tablespoons neutral oil (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

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for 3 minutes.
02 - Stack lumpia wrappers and cut into thin strips or triangles approximately 1.18 inches (3 cm) wide.
03 - Heat the oil gently in a small saucepan over low heat, add minced garlic, and sauté until golden and fragrant for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
04 - Place the sliced wrappers in a large bowl. Drizzle with garlic-infused oil, then season with sea salt and black pepper. Toss gently to ensure even coating.
05 - Arrange coated wrappers in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
06 - Air-fry for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking until chips are golden brown and crisp.
07 - Transfer chips to a wire rack to cool. Repeat frying remaining wrappers as needed.
08 - Optionally garnish with chopped parsley or chives. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Theyre dangerously crispy and disappear faster than you can make a second batch.
  • Garlic transforms from sharp to sweet and mellow as it toasts in the oil.
  • You probably already have everything you need hiding in your pantry.
  • They work as a snack, appetizer, or even a crunchy topping for soups and salads.
02 -
  • Dont skip the cooling step, letting the chips rest on a rack prevents them from getting chewy as they sit.
  • If your garlic burns even slightly it will taste bitter, so keep the heat low and watch it closely.
  • Air fryer temperatures vary wildly, so check your chips a minute early the first time to avoid over-browning.
03 -
  • Use a pastry brush to apply the garlic oil if you want ultra-even coverage and less mess.
  • Let the oil cool just enough that it doesnt soak the wrappers, you want a light coating, not a drenching.
  • Shake the basket confidently halfway through, it prevents sticking and ensures every chip gets its moment in the hot air.
