  1. Prepare the Avocado Filling:
    • Scoop the avocados into a mixing bowl.
    • Add sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, lime juice, coriander, salt, and pepper.

    • Place them in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch.

Tips for Perfect Avocado Egg Rolls

  • Choosing Avocados: Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid a mushy texture.
  • Sealing the Rolls: Ensure the egg rolls are sealed properly to prevent leaks during cooking.
  • Experiment with Fillings: Add chopped green chillies for a bit of spice, or some cheese for extra richness.

Serving Suggestions

Avocado egg rolls are delicious on their own but can be elevated by serving them with a side of sour cream, sweet chili sauce, or a tangy sriracha mayo. These dips complement the creamy avocado and enhance the overall flavor profile.
