The image shows two halves of a golden-brown fried roll placed on a wooden board, revealing three main layers inside: a crispy, flaky outer crust with an even light brown color; a thick middle layer filled with chunks of bright green avocado mixed with pieces of red onion and small bits of brown meat; and some green herbs scattered throughout, adding texture and color. Behind the rolls is a small white ramekin filled with a vibrant green sauce, smooth with tiny bits of herbs.

Ingredients

3 large avocados (peeled, pitted, & diced)

8 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil (drained and chopped)

3 tablespoons minced red onion

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 package egg roll wrappers (at least 12 wrappers)

1 egg (beaten)

4 teaspoons white vinegar

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup)

1/4 teaspoon powdered saffron

1/2 cup chopped cashews

1 cup fresh cilantro

2-4 cloves garlic (depending on how garlicky you want the rolls)

2 green onions (chopped)

1 tablespoon white granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 cup olive oil (more if needed)

Instructions

Make the dipping sauce: In a small microwave-safe bowl, stir together the white vinegar, balsamic vinegar, powdered saffron, and honey. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring once, then set aside.

Blend the sauce: Add the chopped cashews, fresh cilantro, garlic cloves, green onions, white sugar, black pepper, cumin, olive oil, and the honey mixture to a blender. Puree until smooth and fully combined.

Adjust consistency: Pour the sauce into a bowl and stir. Add more olive oil if needed to thin the sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Prepare the avocado filling: In a large bowl, gently mix the diced avocados, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced red onion, chopped cilantro, and salt. Set aside.

Assemble the egg rolls: Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you. Brush the edges with beaten egg.

Add filling: Spoon an even amount of the avocado mixture onto the center of the wrapper.

Fold and roll: Fold the bottom corner up about 1/4 over the filling. Roll the wrapper from side to side, fold the top corner over the roll, and press edges to seal firmly.

Repeat: Continue assembling the remaining egg rolls with the leftover wrappers and filling.

Heat the oil: Pour enough oil into a deep pan to submerge the egg rolls. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C) over medium-high heat.

Fry the egg rolls: Fry the rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain excess oil: Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain.

Serve: Serve the hot avocado egg rolls with the prepared dipping sauce.

Tips & Variations

For a milder garlic flavor, start with 2 cloves and adjust to taste.

If you prefer baked egg rolls, bake them in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.

Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan dipping sauce option.

Add some finely chopped jalapeño to the filling for a spicy kick.

Fresh lime juice in the avocado filling can add a bright, tangy flavor and prevent browning.

FAQs

Can I use frozen egg roll wrappers?

Yes, frozen egg roll wrappers work perfectly. Just thaw them according to package instructions before assembling.

How do I prevent the avocado from browning?

Mixing the diced avocado with fresh lime juice or lemon juice helps prevent browning and keeps the filling fresh-looking longer.
