What You’ll Need: Essential Equipment for This Recipe

• Air Fryer
  Ever since I started using my air fryer, I’ve been hooked. It’s perfect for achieving a crispy, golden exterior on these egg rolls with just a spritz of oil. Plus, it’s quick and easy to use, making it ideal for keto cooking!
• Mixing Bowl
  A reliable mixing bowl makes combining the cheeseburger filling a breeze. It’s a must-have for mixing everything evenly and efficiently.
• Rolling Mat or Flat Surface
  Having a clean, flat surface simplifies rolling the egg rolls neatly and keeps things mess-free.
• Pastry Brush
  This little tool is great for brushing oil on the egg rolls for that perfect golden finish and sealing the edges tightly.
• Non-Stick Liner or Parchment Paper
  Lining your air fryer basket with a non-stick liner or parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup super simple.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Ground Beef (1 lb): The classic cheeseburger base; ground turkey or chicken works as a lighter alternative.
• Cheddar Cheese (1 cup, shredded): Adds gooeyness, but you can try mozzarella or pepper jack for variety.
• Keto-Friendly Tortilla or Wrapper (8 small): Look for low-carb brands or make your own almond flour-based wraps.
• Pickles (1/4 cup, chopped): Optional, but they add that iconic cheeseburger tang.
• Yellow Mustard (1 tbsp): Enhances the burger flavor, though Dijon works too.
• Sugar-Free Ketchup (2 tbsp): Brings a touch of sweetness to balance the savory notes.
• Onion Powder (1 tsp): Adds depth to the beef mixture.
• Garlic Powder (1 tsp): A must-have for seasoning.
• Salt and Pepper (to taste): Adjust to your preference.
• Avocado Oil Spray: For brushing or spraying the egg rolls before air frying.

How to Make Keto Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease.
2. Mix in the cheddar cheese, mustard, sugar-free ketchup, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Stir until well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

1. Lay a keto-friendly tortilla or wrapper on a flat surface.
2. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center.
3. Add optional toppings like pickles or jalapeños if desired.
4. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly to form a log. Use water or a beaten egg to seal the edges.

Step 3: Air Fry

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket, seam side down. Brush lightly with avocado oil.
3. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Step 4: Serve

1. Remove from the air fryer and let cool for a few minutes. Serve with sugar-free ketchup, mustard, or your favorite keto dipping sauce.

• Optional Additions

• Bacon: Add crumbled bacon to the filling for a smoky flavor.
• Jalapeños: For a spicy kick, mix in some diced jalapeños.
• Avocado: A slice of avocado in each roll adds creaminess.

Serving Ideas

• Appetizer Platter: Serve alongside other keto-friendly snacks like deviled eggs or cheese crisps.
• Main Dish: Pair with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
• Dip Pairings: Offer a variety of dips like ranch, spicy mayo, or chipotle aioli.

Storage Recommendations

• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
• Freezer: Assemble and freeze the rolls before cooking. When ready to eat, air fry directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.
