Preparation
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Add the cheddar cheese, pickles, ketchup, and mustard to the beef mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Cooking
- Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Place the egg rolls in the basket, making sure they are not touching. Spray the tops of the egg rolls with cooking spray.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy.
Serving
- Serve hot with additional ketchup and mustard for dipping.
Notes
Cool egg rolls completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, air fry or bake until heated and crisp. You can also make these egg rolls vegetarian by using lentils or plant-based alternatives.
