- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and mashed - 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder - Salt and pepper to taste These main ingredients form the heart of the egg rolls. Ripe avocados bring a creamy texture and rich flavor. Cream cheese adds a nice smoothness and makes the filling rich. Garlic powder and onion powder give depth to the taste. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper for balance! - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for spice) - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped Adding cayenne pepper gives the egg rolls a kick. If you like spice, try it! Fresh cilantro brightens the flavor and adds a fresh taste. You can mix it into the filling or use it as a garnish. - 4 large egg roll wrappers Choose wrappers that are strong and hold the filling well. You can find them in most grocery stores. Look for brands that say "egg roll" to ensure they are sturdy enough for frying. The right wrappers help create that crispy texture we all love. {{ingredient_image_1}} First, I mash two ripe avocados in a bowl. I use a fork to get a smooth texture. Then, I add 1/4 cup of softened cream cheese. This makes the filling rich and creamy. I stir both until they blend well. Next, I add spices to enhance the flavor. I sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder. For a bit of heat, I add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, but this is optional. I also chop 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro and mix it in. Finally, I season with salt and pepper. I ensure everything is well-mixed and ready for wrapping. Now, I grab an egg roll wrapper. I lay it flat with one point facing me. This makes it easy to wrap. I spoon about 2 tablespoons of the avocado mixture onto the center of the wrapper. To wrap, I fold the bottom point over the filling. Then, I fold in the sides snugly. I roll it tightly from the bottom to the top. If needed, I dab a bit of water on the edge to seal it well. I repeat this process for each wrapper until I finish. Before cooking, I preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This step helps the egg rolls cook evenly. I lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Then, I place the egg rolls in a single layer. It's important they don’t touch each other. After that, I spray the tops of the egg rolls lightly with cooking spray. This will help them crisp up nicely. I cook them in the air fryer for 10 to 12 minutes. Halfway through, I flip them for even cooking. When they are golden brown and crispy, I take them out. I let them cool a bit before serving. To get your egg rolls nice and crispy, use cooking spray. This helps the outside brown evenly. Spray both the basket and the tops of the rolls. Adjust cook time for your air fryer. If they are not crispy after 10 minutes, cook them for 2 more minutes. Always flip the egg rolls halfway through for even crispiness. Dips can really boost the flavor of your egg rolls. Try sweet chili sauce or fresh salsa. You can also add spice to the filling. If you like heat, use more cayenne pepper. Fresh herbs can add great taste, too. Consider adding green onions or parsley for an extra kick. Pair your egg rolls with side dishes for a full meal. A simple salad or fried rice works well. For presentation, serve them on a colorful plate. Garnish with extra cilantro for a pop of color. This makes your dish look fancy and inviting. Pro Tips Use Ripe Avocados: Ensure your avocados are ripe for the best flavor and creaminess. A ripe avocado will yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed. Seal Properly: When rolling the egg rolls, make sure to seal the edges well with water to prevent them from opening during cooking. Don't Overcrowd: Place the egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket without touching to ensure even cooking and crispiness. Experiment with Spices: Feel free to adjust the spices in the avocado mixture or add other ingredients like diced jalapeños for an extra kick! {{image_2}} You can change up the filling to fit your taste. Here are a few ideas: - Meat or protein options: Add shredded chicken, cooked shrimp, or crumbled bacon for a heartier roll. Simply mix the cooked protein into the avocado mixture. This twist adds flavor and protein to your snack. - Vegetarian alternatives: For a meatless option, consider adding black beans, corn, or diced bell peppers. These ingredients will add texture and taste while keeping the dish plant-based. If you need a gluten-free option, don't worry! Just use gluten-free egg roll wrappers. These wrappers are easy to find in many stores. They work just as well and keep your egg rolls crispy and delicious. To make your egg rolls even more exciting, try different herbs and spices. Here are a few ideas: - Fresh herbs: Basil, chives, or even mint can give your rolls a fresh twist. Mix them into your filling for a unique taste. - Spices: If you like heat, try adding some chili powder or smoked paprika. These will give your egg rolls a nice kick.
