    WHAT INGREDIENTS DO YOU NEED TO MAKE VEGAN AVOCADO EGG ROLLS?

    Below are notes about the ingredients before we get into the full recipe located lower in this post on how to make this copycat avocado rolls recipe:

    • Avocados – Ripe avocados are best for this recipe. It’s also a good recipe if you have avocados that you know are about to go bad and you aren’t sure how to use them up
    • Roma Tomatoes – Roma tomatoes specifically are a bit more firm and make them perfect for this recipe so they hold their shape
    • Red Onions – Perfect to eat raw, these make the best onions for this recipe since we don’t cook this for very long
    • Garlic – You really want to stick to the 1 clove here. We love garlic as much as the next garlic lover, but since this recipe only cooks for a few minutes, you really don’t want to overdo it as raw garlic has a spicy element to it
    • Jalapeno – We love the subtle kick of heat the jalapeno gives to the recipe without overpowering or making the dish overly spicy. However, feel free to reduce, omit or even add more if you want to sweat a bit more
    • Cilantro – a classic guacamole ingredient, cilantro gives that earthy, fresh herby vibes to bring everything together
    • Lime – you really want fresh lime juice and not bottled for the best flavor. You also want to make sure that you don’t add more than two tablespoons of lime juice or you risk your egg rolls being soggy
    • Spices – we are adding salt, pepper and cumin here to bring our flavors up a notch and round out that perfect guacamole flavor
    • Vegan Egg Roll Wrappers – we are finding vegan egg roll wrappers more and more easily! They work just as well as traditional egg roll wrappers and are perfect at making this whole recipe come together
    • Oil – The best oils for frying are vegetable, peanut or corn. These have high smoke points and neutral flavors making absolutely delicious paired with the recipe

    SUBSTITUTIONS AND VARIATIONS:

    Roma Tomatoes – The biggest thing to note about swapping the roma tomatoes is to pick another tomato that isn’t super juicy. The more liquid you add from the tomatoes, the more you risk your egg rolls being soggy
    Red Onions – Red onions are the best to eat raw, but if you don’t have those, then your next best option would be white onions
    Jalapeno – You can omit if you don’t want any spice
    Cilantro – if you aren’t a fan of cilantro, feel free to omit this ingredient
    Lime – lemon can be replaced in a pinch, but again remember not to do more than 2 tablespoons.
    Oil – If you want these to be oil free, you can follow the instructions for air frying or baking

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make vegan avocado egg rolls Top 8 Allergen Free?

    The ingredient that may contain allergens is the vegan egg roll wrappers.
    We have not seen a gluten free egg roll wrapper, but you could try baking in a gluten free tortilla for a different option or potentially look for a recipe on how to make vegan gluten free wrappers.

    How long are vegan avocado egg rolls good for?

    They will last for 3-5 days in the fridge in an air tight container. However, they will not be as crispy. You can heat them up in the oven, air fryer, or toaster oven to bring back some of the crispiness.

    Can vegan avocado egg rolls be frozen?

    Yes. Make your eggrolls through the step where you are about to fry them. Instead of frying, place them on a baking sheet and flash freeze for 15 minutes.

    Then, you can put then in an air tight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Cook from frozen after

        Egg rolls are popular in Asian culture and filled with a variety of ingredients. The wrapper itself is wheat based and square in shape

      Hi, dear Ms. Bernard! Thanks for this recipe from a lady who happened to buy egg roll wrappers and too many avocados all at once! I have one question, though: I have never heard of cumin that has to be “drained and rinsed”. I thought maybe you considered adding some canned beans and changed your mind. At any rate, these will be delicious.
