How To Make Air Fryer Big Mac Egg Rolls

1. Cook the Filling:
   In a skillet, cook ground beef and diced onions over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease. Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it cool slightly.
2. Mix the Sauce:
   In a bowl, combine all the Big Mac sauce ingredients. Chill in the fridge while preparing the rolls.
3. Assemble Egg Rolls:
   On a clean surface, lay out one egg roll wrapper. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of beef, a sprinkle of cheese, a few chopped pickles, and a drizzle of Big Mac sauce in the center. Fold and roll tightly, sealing edges with a bit of water.
4. Air Fry:
   Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the egg rolls with olive oil spray. Place in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crisp.
5. Serve:
   Let cool slightly and serve with extra Big Mac sauce for dipping!

You Must Know

• Egg Roll Wrappers Dry Quickly: Keep unused wrappers under a damp paper towel while assembling.

• Use Leftovers Wisely: The beef mixture makes great burger bowls, too!

Topping Variations

• Extra shredded lettuce for crunch
• Sliced cherry tomatoes
• A slice of crispy bacon inside the roll
• Spicy pickles or jalapeños for heat
• Toasted sesame seeds on top after cooking

Make It a Meal

• Serve with a Side Salad: A classic wedge salad or iceberg with Thousand Island dressing.

Pro Tips

• Preheat Your Air Fryer: This ensures maximum crispiness.

• Don’t Crowd the Basket: Cook in batches for even browning.
• Make-Ahead Friendly: Assemble rolls and refrigerate for up to 1 day before air frying.

Recipe FAQs

Q: Can I bake these instead of air frying?
A: Yes! Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway until golden brown.

Q: Can I use store-bought Big Mac sauce?
A: You can, but the homemade version gives the most authentic flavor.

Q: What if I don’t have pickles?

Q: Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?

Notes

• Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• I recommend reheating in the air fryer.
• American or cheddar cheese slices can be used.
• Dried onion can be used in place of diced onion.
• I use a 5.8 quart air fryer and fit 5-6 egg rolls per batch.
• I use a medium cookie scoop to easily portion the ground beef.
• For variation, add chopped cooked bacon or diced jalapenos to the beef mixture.
