Crispy Garlic Lumpia Chips (Printable Version)

Thin, crunchy lumpia strips infused with garlic and spices, ideal for a savory snack or appetizer.

# What You 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

# Step-by-Step Directions:

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 fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
04 - Place the sliced wrappers in a mixing bowl. Drizzle garlic-infused oil over them, season with sea salt and black pepper, and toss gently to coat evenly.
05 - Arrange coated wrappers in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Fry in batches if necessary.
06 - Air-fry for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
07 - Remove chips and let cool on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
08 - Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley or chives. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They cook in under ten minutes and taste like you spent way longer in the kitchen.
  • The garlic infuses every crispy edge without overpowering, just pure savory crunch.
  • You can make them ahead and they stay crisp for hours in a sealed container.
02 -
  • Don't skip preheating the air fryer or the chips will cook unevenly and stay soft in spots.
  • Let the garlic oil cool slightly before tossing, or the wrappers will get soggy instead of crispy.
  • Shake the basket halfway through or the chips on the bottom will burn before the top ones even brown.
03 -
  • Use fresh garlic instead of jarred for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the basket, give each piece space to crisp up properly.
  • Taste one chip from the first batch and adjust the salt or pepper before finishing the rest.
