Avocado Egg Rolls Appetizer Recipe
Have you ever tried avocado egg rolls before? Years ago we had them at Cheesecake factory. Since then, we’ve been wanting to create an avocado egg rolls recipe inspired from that meal. And now here it is! These are truly are fun to eat. They’re definitely not authentic egg rolls in any way. But if you’re a fan of eggs rolls and avocado, then these are for you. They’re a fantastic appetizer to have at a Game Day or Super Bowl party. Everyone will love grabbing a few of these and dipping them in our creamy cilantro dipping sauce. YUM!
These are like guacamole egg rolls. Our recipe is like a chunky guacamole egg roll filling with carrot add to it. The creamy avocado mixture inside the rolls is flavorful and delicious. We like to add shredded carrots in there to give the egg rolls more structure and firmness. Besides, extra vegetables are always good for you too! A platter of these will be a crowd pleaser at parties. Avocado egg rolls are so easy to make and so popular. You might need to make extra because everyone will be devouring them so fast!

- 4 medium avocados , seed removed & peeled
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 5 sprigs green onions , diced (or 1/3 cup diced red onion)
- 1 medium tomato , diced
- 3 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika

- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 clove garlic , minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt , or to taste
- 1 teaspoon sugar , optional or to taste
-
Combine all the ingredients in a blender (oil, water, mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, black pepper, salt, and sugar) until everything is smooth. Set aside.
-
In bowl, mash the avocados to a chunky texture. Add carrots, onions, tomato, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir to combine evenly, but try not to over-mix and lose the chunky texture of the avocados. Taste the filling and add additional salt and pepper if necessary.
-
Rolling & Frying: Using egg roll wrappers or spring roll wrappers, add about 2 Tablespoons of the filling to each wrapper. Tuck and roll the wrapper around the filling (watch the video in the post above to see how to roll even and tight rolls). Brush the top corner of the wrapper with water to help seal the wrapper end, and then finish rolling the egg roll. Repeat for all the egg rolls.
-
Fill large frying pan with about 1/2-inch of vegetable oil and heat oil to about 350°F.
-
Carefully add egg rolls to frying pan, without crowding the egg rolls in the pan (they will stick together if placed too close. Fry the egg rolls in batches if needed).
-
Fry each side of the egg rolls for about 3 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Remove and blot on paper towel to remove excess oil.
-
Serve with the dipping sauce.

You will LOVE these for Super Bowl Sunday! They’re perfect.
Sharon says
These look delish…Just wondering if they would turn out all right if baked
Best Recipe Box says
Hi Sharon, we tried them baked and the wrapper burst and split. The moisture from the avocado probably was the cause. Maybe it was because we tested them on the thinner wrappers. If we tested it again, we’d probably use the thicker wrappers. If it works for you let us know!
Janice says
Baste with egg whites
Ellen Liszewski says
Are the Spring Roll pastry wrappers dairy free, egg free and gluten free?
Best Recipe Box says
The brands that we use are not. But there might be some specialty brands at natural food stores. Check out those local markets and hope you find what you’re looking for!
Anita says
Can you make them ahead and fry them when you are ready to eat?
Best Recipe Box says
Hi Anita, it’s not a good idea to roll them ahead of time because the avocado will be soggy. You can fry them all ahead of time, then freeze the rolls. When you’re ready to eat you can heat them up. But the avocado will most likely turn brown. If you try this let us know how it turns out!
Flora R. says
Can this be prepared in advance then freeze to be fried later?
What is “zest of one lime”?
Best Recipe Box says
Hi Flora, yes you can cook it ahead of time and freeze it. But when thawing, the avocado might be brown so not sure how the flavor will be. The zest is achieved by using a zester that scrapes the rind of the lime. This adds extra flavor.
Karla says
Can this recipe be adapted air the air fryer? If so, temp and time?
Best Recipe Box says
Hi Karla, yes you can. Just follow the same air frying instructions in our Air fryer egg rolls with chicken and veggies. You can search the recipe in the search box.
