- Preheat the air fryer to 400℉. Spray non stick cooking spray on the basket of the air fryer.
- Place one egg roll wrapper in a diamond pattern on a flat plate. Scoop the cooled filling and place a heaping spoon full (3-4 tbsp) of filling in the middle of the sheet. Ensure the filling is centered and horizontal, leaving room to wrap in the ends of the wrap and roll the wrap.
- Fold the wrapper like a burrito by folding and tucking in the ends and then rolling the egg roll. You can use a little water on the ends of the wrap to seal the ends to the rolled egg roll.
- Place your prepared egg rolls into your preheated air fryer coated with non stick spray and cook for 7 to 9 minutes, depending on desired crispiness.
- Once finished, remove egg rolls from the air fryer, serve and enjoy!
