Prep: 20 minutes mins
Cook: 25 minutes mins
Yield: 5 servings
INGREDIENTS
- 10 egg roll wrappers (Note 1)
- 3 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1 roma tomato, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- oil for frying
Sweet Chili Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons
sriracha - 2 tablespoons
white sugar - 1 tablespoon
rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
toasted sesame oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Make Filling: Mash avocados to chunky consistency and stir with tomato, salt, and black pepper in mixing bowl until combined.
Wrap Egg Rolls: Lay out egg roll wrappers with corners facing you, and set out small bowl of water. Distribute avocado filling onto bottom half of each wrapper. Working with one wrapper at a time, use finger to brush water along all edges to moisten, fold up closest corner over filling, then fold over sides, then roll up. Dab last fold with more water to seal. Repeat for all other wrappers.
Fry Egg Rolls: Add oil to large pot until oil is about 2 inches deep, and place over medium heat. When oil temperature reaches 350 F, add egg rolls in batches of 3 to 5 depending on size of pot (Note 2). Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towel lined plate to drain.
Serve: Slice each egg roll in half on bias (Note 3). Stir together all sauce ingredients in small bowl until well-mixed. Serve sauce with sliced avocado egg rolls (Note 4).

NOTES & TIPS
(1) Egg Roll Wrappers. Find these at major supermarkets in the U.S., stocked in a refrigerated section, typically near items like tofu. Double check the label so that you don’t accidentally buy wonton wrappers, which are different from egg roll wrappers. If you don’t consume eggs, some brands like Nasoya offer vegan egg roll wrappers.
(2) Frying. I use a 3 quart stainless steel pot and an instant-read thermometer to determine when the oil has reached 350 F. The thermometer is also used to periodically check the oil during frying in order to maintain 350 F, adjusting the burner as needed. You can also use a dutch oven for frying, or a deep fryer appliance with automatic temperature control.
(3) Slicing On Bias. This means cutting diagonally, commonly done with carrots and scallions to achieve an oval-shaped cut. To slice on a bias, hold the food at a slight angle to the knife and slice.
(4) Serving. Serve avocado egg rolls promptly while they’re crisp and crunchy, with dipping sauce on the side. Pair with main dishes like Thai chicken salad, Asian lettuce wraps, or tofu stir fry.
(5) Nutrition. Oil used for frying is not included in the nutrition estimate.

Did not turn out well when cooked in air fryer (as recommended in previous comments). I cooked it on 350 for 6 minutes, then flipped and cooked for another 6.
The egg roll wrapper had a bitter floury taste

can you bake them instead of frying them?

I don’t recommend it, as it won’t taste anywhere near as good as the fried version.

These look so good. I have a weird science question; how do the avocados not turn brown inside the egg rolls? Im afraid that will happen when I cook them.

Avocados turn brown because their enzymes are exposed to oxygen. Since cooking deactivates enzymes, this shouldn’t be a problem.

Yes! It works in the air fryer, and they are amazing. I’m not a fan of greasy food, so the air fryer was my preferred way of cooking these. I cooked them at 350 degrees for about 6-7 minutes. Delicious!

Can I prep these early and refrigerate? Then fry when I’m ready like your wontons? I’m not sure what the wraps will allow

You totally can pre-wrap your egg rolls and freeze them. Wrap all of them, place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment in the freezer, when fairly solid just transfer to a freezer safe zip-top bag or vacuum seal them for longer last.
*note: I would recommend also tossing your avocado slices in some sort of preservative like ascorbic acid (vitamin C powder) or maybe even some lime juice, to prevent browning. Although the freezer may halt the oxidation process, I wouldn’t totally count on that alone. Just make sure the avocado isn’t drenched in the juice and you should be good to roll.
Hope this helps!

Yes, you can do that. They’ll lose some of their crispness but will still taste great.

Any special kind of avocado? How ripe should it be? Can these be re-heated?
Thank You

No special kind of avocado; I use medium sized or Haas avocados. It should be ripe — if you push your finger against the avocado, you should feel it give a bit. These egg rolls can’t be reheated later so I recommend eating them all at once. It shouldn’t be hard 🙂
