Notes

Recipe tips.

To ripen avocados faster, put unripe avocados in a brown paper bag with an apple or banana for two to three days until they are ripe.
To bake, set the oven to 425°F and bake for about 20 minutes until they are golden brown.
To air fry. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Spray the outside of the egg rolls with olive oil before putting them in the air fryer. Cook for 7-8 minutes, flipping them halfway.

Prep ahead. Prepare the filling the day before and store it in the fridge. You can also assemble the egg rolls as instructed, but do not fry. Instead, tightly wrap each roll with plastic wrap and freeze. Thaw in the fridge overnight before frying.

Store leftovers. Store leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
