Homemade Egg Rolls in the Air Fryer
Super easy to throw together, you are going to want to make these all the time. You will have to muster some self control so you donโt eat all the filling before you wrap it up. I wouldnโt blame you if you did though.
- Mash: In a medium bowl add the avocado and mash to desired consistency.
- Add:ย Add the onion, tomato, cilantro, garlic powder, lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.
- To Make the Egg Rolls:ย Place the avocado mixture in the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges with water. Bring the bottom edge of he wrapper and roll it tightly over the filling. Fold in the sides and continue to roll up the wrapper and press to seal. Repeat until you have used all of the wrappers.
- Bake:ย Spray the basket of the air fryer with olive oil spray. Place ethe egg rolls in the basket and lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls with the olive oil spray. Cook at 400 degrees for 6 minutes.

The Best Avocado Egg Roll Tips
Egg rolls can seem intimidating at first. Tightly wrapped and stuffed with delicious fillings, and then fried to perfection, they can seem overwhelming for sure. But cooking them in the air fryer takes all the work out of frying them, and rolling the egg rolls are as easy as rolling a burrito. In fact, itโs exactly the same.
- Wrappers: ย Be sure to cover the wrappers youโre not using with a damp paper towel so they donโt dry out.
- Can I use Spring Roll Wrappers?ย Absolutely, although the texture and crispiness will differ. Because the spring roll wrapper is thinner they will be crispier. Follow directions on package for best results.
- Other Substitution for Egg Roll wrappers: If you canโt find egg roll wrappers or you just donโt want to go to the store, try phyllo dough. Roll thin and cut into squares and fill, being sure to seal the edges.
- Know Your Air Fryer:ย Every air fryer cooks a little differently. Adjust your temperature and timings to fit your air fryer. If this is the first time cooking these avocado egg rolls, check them a bit earlier to make sure youโre not over cooking them.
- Donโt overcrowd your air fryer:ย The number one rule in air frying is to not over crowd it. The food needs to be spaced apart so that the heated air can circulate and cook your food evenly, and get everything nice and crispy.
All About Avocados
With all their healthy benefits and various ways to use them, avocados are the fruit to buy these days. From avocado chicken,ย shrimp burrito bowlsย to smoothies, they add creaminess and flavor. But they canย be intimidating to buy. Itโs like playing russian roulette. You never know if youโre going to pick a good one or not. And you never know if itโll ripen in time for when you need it. It can truly be stressful. Here are some tips that can make it a bit more relaxed.
- How to pick Avocados: Even if you know the best places to go to get avocados there are a few tricks to know to help you get that perfect avocado for these egg rolls.
- Donโt rely on color alone:ย Most often ripe avocados will be dark green almost black in color. But Iโve had dark almost black avocados not be ripe, so donโt rely on this alone.
- Do the gentle pressure test:ย Test for ripeness near the top of the avocado near the stem. Press down gently, about the same amount of pressure you would a computer mouse. If it gives slightly itโs ripe. Leaving an indent means itโs over ripe. If you canโt press down on it at all, itโs not ready.
- Donโt worry about the Texture:ย Some avocados have lots of bumps and some are smooth. That all depends on the variety of avocado youโre purchasing. The key is to avoid ones with dark spots or mushy brown spots.
- Need to ripen your avocado?ย Weโve all been there, we bought an avocado thinking it would ripen in time and it hasnโt yet. To help ripen an avocado place in a brown paper bag with an apple or a banana. Check it daily as it will ripen quickly.
- Itโs ripe and you donโt need itย yet.ย When avocados ripen before youโre ready for them place them in the fridge to slow the ripening process.

ThisWrappers? recipe looks delicious but I have celiac and wondered if you have a recipe for gluten free egg roll wrappers or a substitute?
Thank you!
Hi. First I love your recipes. I donโt own air fryer. Could you deep fry the egg rolls instead?
Of course! Check out the deep-fried version here.
We donโt see the nutrition.
Itโs at the bottom of the recipe card!
Thank you, it wasnโt there when I was looking at te recipe.
can you freeze these and reheat?
Yes, this will be great! Reheat in the air fryer frozen.
These were so delicious! Everyone loved them! The only reason I gave a 4 star is because it doesnโt give the amount of mixture to put in each egg roll wrap. I ended up putting too much in and every roll split open while cooking. Although, it didnโt change the taste, they could have looked more appetizing if less mixture was in the wraps and they didnโt split open. ๐
