Instructions

In a large bowl, combine grated zucchini, cottage cheese, green onions, garlic, and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling near the center.
Fold the bottom over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Preheat air fryer to 190°C (380°F).
Spray spring rolls lightly with olive oil and arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 10–12 minutes, or until golden and crispy, working in batches if necessary.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to prevent soggy rolls.
Use rice paper for a gluten-free option.
To reheat, use the air fryer for crispiness; avoid microwaving.
Freeze uncooked rolls and air fry from frozen, adding a few minutes to cook time.
Mix filling a day ahead for more flavor.
