These Keto Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls are a fun, low-carb twist on traditional egg rolls, stuffed with ground beef, cheese, and pickles, all wrapped in a keto-friendly wrapper. Crispy, cheesy, and packed with savory flavors, these egg rolls make a perfect appetizer or meal!

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

  • 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles (or pickle relish)
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion (optional)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking the beef)

For the Egg Roll Wrappers:

  • 4 large egg roll wrappers (or use keto-friendly egg wraps, found in some stores or homemade)
  • 1 egg (for sealing the wrappers)

For Air Frying:

  • Cooking spray (or a light brushing of olive oil)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
    • Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
    • Once the beef mixture has cooled, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped pickles (and onions, if using).
  1. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
    • Lay the egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with a corner facing you (like a diamond shape).
    • Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto the center of the wrapper, about 2-3 tablespoons per wrapper.
    • Fold in the sides of the wrapper and roll up tightly, sealing the edge with a little beaten egg (you can also use water if you prefer).
    • Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  2. Air Fry the Egg Rolls:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
    • Lightly spray or brush the egg rolls with olive oil to help them crisp up.
    • Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they aren’t overcrowded.
    • Air fry for 7-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy.
  3. Serve:
    • Once done, remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
    • Serve with keto-friendly dipping sauces, such as sugar-free ketchup or mustard, if desired.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, you can add a bit of mustard or sugar-free ketchup to the beef mixture before assembling the egg rolls.
  • If you can’t find keto egg roll wrappers, you can use low-carb tortillas or even homemade keto dough.
  • These egg rolls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days or frozen for up to a month. To reheat, air fry at 375°F for 3-5 minutes.

These Keto Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls are crispy, cheesy, and perfectly savory, making them an ideal low-carb alternative to traditional egg rolls! 🍔🧀
