- ✓Remove parchment paper after 4 minutes of air frying because it prevents proper crisping once moisture evaporates from the rice paper surface.timing4 minutes
- ✓Leave a 1-inch border on all sides when filling because rice paper shrinks 15-20% during cooking and tight fills cause bursting.technique1-inch border, 15-20% shrinkage
