Step One: Prepare The Ground Beef Spray a medium skillet with nonstick cooking. Heat over medium-high heat; Add the ground beef, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook beef until no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the meat, set aside, and let cool for a couple of minutes.
Step Two: Prepare The Egg Roll Filing In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground meat, minced onions, and diced pickles. Mix well until combined, and slowly fold in the shredded cheese.
Step Three: Prepare Your Egg Rolls On a flat surface or cutting board, place the egg roll wrapper in a diagonal, and add 2-3 heaping tablespoons of hamburger mixture onto the center of the egg roll wrapper.
Rolling from the bottom, roll halfway up, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Seal with a drop of water and set aside. You can either use a pastry brush or your finger to help seal. Continue to prepare the egg rolls until you use up your egg roll wrappers or filling.

You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer, be careful not to crowd your basket. If you have an air fryer oven, place them on the lowest tray in the air fryer.

Big Mac Egg Rolls Air Fryer Recipe Tips
- Choose the Right Wrappers: Use high-quality egg roll wrappers for the best results.
- Filling Preparation: Finely chop or shred the ingredients for the filling to ensure a consistent texture and even cooking.
- Seasoning the Filling: To mimic the iconic Big Mac flavor, incorporate finely chopped pickles, minced onions, and a mix of ketchup and mustard.
- Assembling the Egg Rolls: Don’t overstuff the wrappers; too much filling can cause them to burst during cooking. Seal the edges with a bit of water or a flour paste (made from flour and water) to ensure they don’t open up in the air fryer.
- Air Fryer Settings: Spray or lightly brush the egg rolls with oil to achieve a golden-brown and crispy exterior.
- Cooking in Batches: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
- Flipping During Cooking: Halfway through the cooking time, carefully flip the egg rolls to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
- Serving: Serve these Big Mac Egg Rolls with a side of ‘special sauce’ – a mix of mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for that authentic Big Mac taste.
- Cooling: Let them cool for a few minutes after air frying; they will be very hot inside, and this also helps the exterior become even crispier.
- Experiment with Variations: Feel free to add or substitute ingredients in the filling. Cheese, different types of ground meat, or even vegetarian alternatives can work well.
