    Egg Roll Wrappers: I like to use this eggless egg roll wrap. 

    Cabbage

    Carrots 

    Green Bell Pepper

    Coconut Aminos or soy sauce

    Cinnamon

    Fennel seed

    Cayenne Pepper

    Oil Spray - This is my favorite oil spray pump.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until hot. Add the green onions, garlic, and ginger. Saute for 2 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften.
    2. Stir in the carrots and cook for 1 minute more. Add the cabbage and toss to combine. Cook and stir the cabbage mixture for 7 minutes, or until the cabbage has wilted.
    3. Add the coconut aminos, cinnamon, fennel seeds, and cayenne pepper. Remove from heat and cool 10 minutes.
    4. Assemble the egg roll by placing 2 tablespoons of cabbage filling near the bottom corner of the egg roll wrapper.
    5. Fold each side of the egg roll wrapper towards the center of the egg roll, covering the filling. Continue to fold and roll the egg roll away from you to form the a log shape.
    6. Place the rolled egg rolls seam side down in the air fryer basket or tray and spray with a light spritz of cooking spray on the outside of the egg roll..
    7. Air fry at 350 for 15 minutes, turning halfway thru, until golden. 

    🥄 Equipment

    Air Fryer to cook the egg rolls.

    Silicone Pastry Brush to dampen the edges of the egg roll wrappers.

    🥫Storage

    Store leftover egg rolls in an air-tight container in the fridge up to 3 days and in the freezer up to 3 months. To reheat leftovers place the egg roll in the air fryer and cook on 350 for 5 minutes, or until hot.

    📖 Variations

    • Substitute ½ tablespoon 5 spice powder for the cinnamon, fennel, and cayenne powder
    • Brush the egg rolls lightly with sesame oil instead of cooking spray for a more nutty flavor to the roll.
    • Add a little more color to the filling and substitute 2 cups of the shredded green cabbage for shredded red cabbage.
    • Add 1 cup chopped mushrooms (raw) to the onion mixture in step 1.

    💭 Tips

    • Save time and buy pre shredded coleslaw mix in place of cabbage and carrots.
    • Only lightly spray the oil on top of the egg roll wrappers before adding to the air fryer.

    🙋 FAQ's

    Are spring roll wrappers and egg roll wrappers the same?

    No, spring rolls are generally made with rice wrappers where egg rolls are made of a thicker flour wrapper.

    Are all egg roll wrappers vegan?

    No, you will want to check the package to see if it is vegan. Some egg roll wrappers are dipped in egg for richness.

    🏫 The last word

    I wasn't sure how the air fryer would work for crisping up the egg rolls. However, it turned out to be an excellent way to make these egg rolls without the mess of oil in deep fryer. While they aren't exactly like a deep fried egg roll, they make a great replacement for those wanting to eliminate fried foods.

    Air Fried Egg Rolls will brown and crisp up nice. They will stay that way while they are hot, but any leftovers tend to soften. Leftovers are great reheated in the air fryer, but they won't have the same crispiness that you get when they are first cooked.
