Air Fryer Egg Rolls with Pb2 Dipping Sauce

Air fryer egg rolls stuffed with shrimp and veggies give you all the yummy flavors of a traditional chinese egg roll but without all the excess fat that traditionally comes from frying them!

I am loving using my air fryer (affiliate link - I have the philips brand!) to create yummy new healthy recipes.  My air fried chicken tenders are still a favorite and now I've found that you can make EGG ROLLS in the air fryer that taste just as good as the real deep fried ones! Well, with like half the calories so that's a major plus :)


I mean, just look at the CRUNCH on these bad boys - all from being cooked in the air fryer with only a little bit of cooking spray and done in less than 10 minutes. 


The egg rolls themselves are delicious but I also whipped together a healthy peanut dipping sauce to pair with them that is actually made with powdered peanut butter so it still low in fat but full of flavor!


Forget take-out Chinese, egg rolls that taste this good and can still be made at home are a win in my book.  Next time you are feeling like Chinese and a movie in your sweatpants at home on the weekend you can just whip these up and not have to worry about putting on real pants to run out and get take-out ;)


I've listed a full recipe at the bottom of the post but took some photos of the process so you could see how they come together. 

First step is to sauté the veggie mixture in one pan and cook the shrimp in another pan.


I laid out four egg roll wrappers on a baking tray


And then equally split the veggies and shrimp in between each wrapper


To wrap the egg roll wrapper I dipped my finger into some egg whites (can also just use water) and ran it along the upper two sides of the wrapper

And then started rolling up from the other end

Fold the two sides in

And then finishing wrapping the last flap over the roll (the egg whites/water help the wrapper stick together a bit but you should still store the uncooked egg roll seam side down until you are ready to cook it)

Once all of them have been wrapped they are ready for the air fryer basket!

Nutritional Info

Two egg rolls and half of the dipping sauce is 253 calories with 39 grams of carbs, 4 grams of fat and 20 grams of protein.

You can make tons of different versions of these: use chicken instead of shrimp, leave out any meat and just add more veggies, really the best part about them is the CRUNCH you get from the air-fried egg roll wrapper so almost anything that you decide to stuff them with should taste great!
