This is an Avocado Egg Roll recipe – copycat of Cheesecake Factory. If you have ever had these delicious egg rolls from Cheesecake Factory, you know how wonderful these are. Likewise, if you are a fan of avocados, you are going to love these. And, it cost much less than ordering them at the restaurant.
Plus, we are going to use an air fryer to cook these egg rolls instead of frying them in oil.
It only takes roughly 20 minutes to make and even less time to devour them.
Picking A Good Avocado
It can be a little intimidating picking out avocados. But, here are a few tips you might find helpful.
- The skin is very dark green (almost black) and could be almost purple
- The outside is uniform, with no cracks or brown mushy spots.
- Hold the avocado in your palm– apply very gentle pressure.
- If there is no give and it is very hard to the touch the avocado it is not ripe yet.
- If it is mushy or stays dented when you press on it, it’s too old.
The best way I have found that extends the life of an avocado is to immerse the avocado completely in water and refrigerate it. I have used avocados up to a week later and they are just as fresh as the day they were bought.
