Meanwhile, if you cook frozen lumpia in the air fryer at 400 F, they will take about 10 to 13 minutes.
If you set the temperature to more than 400 F, you may burn the lumpia without cooking them.

Lumpia can be healthy and unhealthy at the same time as it depends on the fillings you use and the method of cooking them.
