Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cup finely grated cabbage packed
  • ½ cup finely grated carrots
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 10 egg roll wrappers
  • oil spray for spraying egg rolls to air fry
  • sweet chili sauce optional for dipping

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil on a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the grated cabbage and grated carrots to the pan along with the soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and sesame oil. Give the mixture a mix until it is incorporated and let the veggies cook down until wilted, stirring often, about 5 minutes
  • Once the veggies are softened remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool. Taste the mixture and add salt if desired.
  • Place an egg roll wrapper at a diagonal so that one corner is facing you. Place about 3 tablespoons of the mixture in the corner facing you. Wrap that corner fully over the filling, turn both sides over the wrapper and continue rolling it up like a burrito. Once you get to the edge, whisk an egg and brush a small amount of the egg mixture onto the edge of each wrapper to seal it closed (See step by step photos in post above). Repeat until all of the mixture is used and all egg rolls are formed.
  • Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with oil spray and the egg rolls into the basket making sure to leave some space in between them. Spray the top of the egg rolls with a generous layer of oil (this will help with browning).
  • Air fry the egg rolls at 390 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes or until the egg rolls are golden, flipping the egg rolls halfway through. Let them cool fully and serve with a dipping sauce of choice.

Notes

  • I like to use a box grater to finely chop up the veggies. I used the smallest-sized hole for the carrots and the mandoline-style single-slicing hole for the cabbage. In a pinch? You can also purchase a package of coleslaw mix to use instead.
  • Make sure to keep a damp towel on top of the egg roll wrappers are you are assembling them to prevent them from drying out.
  • Make sure not to overfill the egg roll wrappers so that they are not too difficult to roll up. See the images above for how to properly roll up egg rolls.
