• Avocados are a good source of healthy fats.
• If you like guacamole and avocado, you’re going to love this great appetizer

Just like our Air Fryer Southwest Egg Rolls, this air fryer recipe uses less oil and has a faster cook time than traditional egg rolls. These (almost) copycat Cheesecake Factory’s avocado egg rolls are truly delicious!

EGG ROLL WRAPPER: You can find egg roll wrappers in the frozen and refrigerated section of your grocery store. You can also use spring roll wrappers or wonton wrappers (as they’re made from the same ingredients as egg roll wrappers). But, wonton wrappers are smaller than and egg roll wrapper. Adjust accordingly if you use the smaller size.

SWEET CHILI SAUCE: You may see this also referred to as Asian Sweet Chili sauce or Thai sweet chili sauce. If you’re in love with cilantro (like I am!) then drizzle this cilantro chimichurri sauce over the top of these egg rolls.

 

Instructions

This recipe will make 6-8 egg rolls depending how stuffed you make them. Here are the step-by- step instructions to make some delicious air fryer avocado egg rolls:

STEP 1: Pull out the cutting board and cut the avocados in half. Spoon out the insides on to the cutting board and dice. Place in a medium bowl.

 

STEP 2: Chop cilantro into small pieces.

STEP 3: To make the avocado mixture, combine avocado with onion, cilantro, sun dried tomato, and salt & pepper until it’s well combined with the avocado.

 

STEP 4: Lay your wrappers on a flat surface, in a diamond shape and add a few tablespoons of the mixture in the center of the wrapper.

 

STEP 5: Fold in 3 sides of the egg roll in wrappers then roll the wrappers closed. Use a little water to dab on the wrapper to seal the edges.

 

STEP 6: Pre-heat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (usually 1-2 minutes, but may vary by air fryer model).

How to Find The Perfect Avocado

Finding a ripe avocado for this avocado egg roll recipe can be like finding gold sometimes. Here are some things to look for and tips to help you find the best avocado:

• Check for bruising or cracks- if the avocado has mushy brown spots it is overripe.
• Stem check- press down on the stem of the avocado and if it leaves a dent, it’s also overripe.
• Firmness- do the gentle pressure test. Don’t use your fingers to press into it as you can easily bruise it. Instead, use your palm to gently squeeze it. If it yields, it’s ripe, if it doesn’t it’ll still need a few days to ripen.
• Color- when picking Hass avocados, pick an avocado with a rich dark green color, even dark almost black avocados will do. Most often ripe avocados are dark in color. Light green avocados aren’t usually ripe enough.

Variations

• Not everybody loves fresh cilantro, so you can omit if necessary.
• If you’re not a fan of sun dried tomatoes, replace with red onion and skip the dried minced onion.
• Love Garlic? Then add a little garlic powder to the avocado filling.
• Like a lime tang? Squeeze fresh lime juice in with the avocado mixture.
• Use a spring roll wrapper instead of an egg roll wrapper if you want a dough that is made without eggs.

How to Ripen an Avocado

If your avocados are still light green and hard, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a brown paper bag.

Avocados ripen faster in a closed paper bag because the gas they let off is captured, speeding up the process.

How to Store Homemade Egg Rolls

Any leftover egg rolls can be placed in an airtight container and kept in the fridge for 3-4 days.
