{I am so excited to welcome Jennifer from Predominantly Paleo to the site today! She is sharing with us her recipe for Paleo Egg Rolls. I love egg rolls and was sure I’d never eaten them again on the paleo diet! I can’t wait to try this recipe! For non-pork eaters like me, I would recommend ground chicken or turkey, though I bet beef would be tasty too! ~Jessica}
Who doesn’t love an egg roll?
They are practically the quintessential Chinese-American finger food, perfect for dippin’ and noshin’.
Have you ever met an egg-roll hater?
Exactly! They really don’t exist!
Well, sadly, those delightful lil’ rolls are wrapped in gluten, stuffed with soy, and fried in undesirable vegetable oils. This is not really the stuff that Paleo dreams are made of!
Well eating healthy should be fun too – and egg rolls should NOT have to be a thing of the past! These little beauties are grain, gluten, soy, dairy, nut, and yucky oil FREE, so you can snack to your heart’s content knowing that your body is gonna love what you are feeding it! Now that’s a meal worth making!

Ingredients
For the Wrappers
- 3 cups peeled, coarsely chopped, and boiled yuca root (takes about 20 minutes to be fork-tender; do not overcook)
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- Additional avocado oil or coconut oil or palm shortening
For the Filling
- 1 pound ground chicken (or turkey or beef)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic sea salt blend
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 cup shredded, diced carrots
- 2 cups shredded, diced cabbage
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice
For Dipping Sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon gluten-free Sriracha
- 1/4 teaspoon hot mustard (omit for AIP)
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1.5 teaspoons coconut palm sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Drain your peeled, chopped, boiled yuca and place in a sturdy blender or Vitamix.
- Pour in 1/4-1/2 cup Avocado Oil and blend until a dough is formed (may be slightly sticky while still warm).
- Empty contents onto parchment paper and allow to cool (this will help with the stickiness, if you experience this).
- While dough is cooling, brown ground meat in a large skillet with seasonings (garlic salt, aminos, five spice, and ginger).
- Add carrots and cabbage once meat starts losing its pink color.
- Cook ingredients until meat is cooked through and veggies are softened.
- Remove filling from heat.
- Now take handfuls of the cooled dough and flatten them into a “tortilla” on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Square off the edges with your fingers, you will want these to be thin but not completely transparent.
- Repeat until your baking sheet is full and bake for about 10 minutes (you do not want the edges to crisp, just become more solidified and less doughy.
- Remove from the oven and repeat until all of your wrappers are made.
- Allow the wrappers to cool before filling them.
- Now take one wrapper and spoon about a tablespoon of the meat mixture into the center
- As you start rolling the wrapper, tuck the corners into the ends so that the egg roll is closed from all angles.
- Repeat until all wrappers are filled – if you have leftover meat mixture you can use it to fill lettuce leaves or make more wrappers.
- Heat your avocado oil in a large skillet over relatively high heat (not the highest) – if your oil is not hot enough the egg rolls may stick to the pan.
- Fry 3-4 at a time so that you may keep a close watch on them…you will want to brown all sides in the skillet.
- Remove from heat once your egg rolls are nicely browned and repeat with the remaining egg rolls which have not been fried.
- For Dipping Sauce, combine all ingredients and get dippin’.

Hey AIP (and even non-AIP) Friends! Listen Up! It’s Finally Time for “FAST” Food on the AIP!
Yes, you read that right. FAST FOOD on the AIP! How is that even possible you ask? Well, I’ll tell you:
The Instant Pot!
Yes, this small kitchen appliance will take your healing autoimmune protocol meals to a whole new level of deliciousness and simplicity. You’ll be preparing gourmet, restaurant-style dishes in the comfort of your own home, easily and quickly.
I know, it sounds too good to be true, but I assure you, it’s not. And listen, while this eBook was created for our AIP friends, everyone will LOVE the nourishing, real food recipes in this book, regardless of your eating style.
I’ve done the AIP twice in my life, once for 6 months and then the second time for about 18 months. Both times I found myself struggling with the amount of time it took to prepare my food. And, because our food choices are limited, especially during the initial healing phase, I started to get really bored and stuck in a rut with food.
That is why I am so passionate about The Paleo AIP Instant Pot Cookbook that myself and 36 other experienced AIP bloggers and practitioners have put together just for you. We created this resource as a way to help you alleviate the burden of time and energy that comes with cooking AIP meals from scratch.
This is the first digital eBook written specifically for the AIP community using the Instant Pot. This book:
- Focuses on the pressure cooker function, creating fast and delicious meals. Are you nervous about using a pressure cooker? No worries. There’s a tutorial in the front of the e-cookbook.
- Features over 140 recipes, including Broths, Sauces/Condiments, Vegetables, Poultry, Meat, Seafood, Organ Meat, and Dessert.
- Special diet modifications: Over half the recipes in this e-cookbook can be easily modified for Low-FODMAP, GAPS/SCD, and Coconut-Free diets. (Charts are included at the back of the book.)
- Packed with flavor with such diverse recipes as: Bone Broth (of course), Cranberry BBQ Sauce, Marinara Sauce, Cauli-fredo Sauce, Bacon Orange Cherry Jam, “Baked” Sweet Potatoes, Cauliflower Rice, Artichokes with Lemon Tarragon Dipping Sauce, Smothered Okra, Creamy Kabocha Squash Soup, Fall Off the Bone Whole Chicken, Mole Chicken with Bluecumber Salsa, Lemongrass and Ginger Chicken Zoodle Soup, Stuffed Acorn Squash, Turkey and Gravy, Speedy Chili, Teriyaki Garlic Beef, Ukrainian Borscht, Sticky Pork Short Ribs, Pork Vindaloo, Lamb and Apricot Curry, Simple French Navarin Lamb Stew, Chicken Liver Pâté, Steak and Kidney Stew, Tongue Tacos, Jambalaya, Steamed Crab, Leek and Shrimp Risotto, Salmon and Sweet Potato Chowder, Poached Pears, “Chocolate” Cake, Pina Colada Tapioca Pudding, Mini Pumpkin Pies, and over 100 other fabulous recipes!
- Written by 37 AIP bloggers who have used the paleo autoimmune protocol to improve their own health. The result is a book far better than any one person could have created alone.
It’s time to stop using all of your precious time and energy slaving away in the kitchen. Eating real food can be time-consuming enough, but adding the AIP on top of it can lead to even more work.
Now you can FINALLY enjoy “fast” food on your healing protocol. Less time, less stress, more flavor. You deserve it. Learn more about the Paleo AIP Instant Pot Cookbook and how to download your copy here (or just click on the image below).
