Crispy Garlic Lumpia Chips (Printable)

Thin, crispy lumpia wrapper chips flavored with garlic and perfect for snacking or dipping.

# 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

# How To Make It:

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 - Warm 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 - In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced wrappers with garlic-infused oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to evenly coat.
05 - Place coated wrappers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
06 - Air-fry for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until wrappers turn golden brown and crispy.
07 - Transfer chips to a wire rack to cool. Repeat the frying process with remaining wrappers.
08 - Optional: Sprinkle chopped parsley or chives over the chips before serving. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They're ready in under 25 minutes, making them perfect for last-minute cravings or unexpected guests.
  • Garlic oil turns simple wrappers into something addictively crispy and flavorful without any heavy frying.
  • One batch feeds four people, or just one person three times if we're being honest.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling step—they continue crisping up as they cool, and eating them straight from the rack will disappoint you later when they soften.
  • Overcrowding the air fryer basket means steam instead of crispiness; work in batches and be patient.
  • The garlic must cool slightly after cooking, or it'll turn bitter and make your chips taste off.
03 -
  • Always use fresh garlic and gently infuse it—pre-minced or powdered garlic won't give you that same golden, aromatic magic.
  • If your air fryer runs hot or cool, adjust the temperature up or down by 10 degrees and trust the visual cues of golden brown over the exact time.
