Air Fryer Biscoff Baklava Egg Rolls (Vegan & Date-Sweetened)

Crispy air fryer Biscoff baklava egg rolls filled with sweet dates, cashews, warm cinnamon, and a hint of maple syrup, finished with a light lemon maple glaze.

Ingredients

These air fryer baklava egg rolls use naturally sweetened date and cashew filling blended with Biscoff spread and wrapped until golden and crispy.

• 6 plant-based egg roll wrappers (Nasoya)
• 6 Medjool dates (pitted)
• ⅔ cup raw cashews
• 2 tbsp cookie butter spread (Lotus Biscoff)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup (for the filling)
• Pinch of salt
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp water (for the glaze)
• 1 tsp lemon juice (for the glaze)
• 1/4 C maple syrup (for the glaze)

Instructions

Make the filling

• Add the dates, cashews, Biscoff spread, 1 tbsp maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon to a food processor.
• Blend until mostly smooth but still slightly textured like traditional baklava filling. Scrape down sides as needed.

Roll the egg rolls

• Lay one egg roll wrapper flat in a diamond shape.
• Add 2–3 tablespoons of filling near the center.
• Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly upward.
• Lightly seal the edge with water.
• Repeat with remaining wrappers. It’s okay and preferable if you have some of the crumb left, since you can top the egg rolls with it!

Air fry

• No need to preheat, just throw in the 6 egg rolls into the air fryer basket and start cooking them on 400F.
• Cook on 400F for 3 minutes and 30 seconds, then flip the plant-based egg rolls to ensure even crispiness.
• Cook for 2 more minutes and then flip again.
• Continue cooking flipping each minute or so (~8 minutes total) until golden and crisp.

Make the glaze

• In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, lemon juice, and water.
• Bring to a gentle simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
• Remove from heat.

Finish and serve

• Drizzle warm lemon maple glaze over the crispy egg rolls.
• Sprinkle on some of the reserved crumb from the filling.
• Let sit for a minute or two so the glaze lightly soaks in.
• Serve warm for best texture.
• Serving suggestion: These egg rolls are rich and indulgent, so one, maybe two, is plenty per person.

Tips

• Don’t overfill the wrappers or they may burst while air frying.
• Flip twice during cooking to ensure even crispiness.
• These are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes to re-crisp.
