This is what happens when a cheeseburger gives up pretending to be a burger. Seasoned beef. Melted cheese. Pickles. Onions. A little mustard. A little ketchup. Everything rolled up inside crispy spring roll wrappers and air-fried until golden enough to make the whole kitchen smell like a burger van at midnight. Crunchy outside. Cheeseburger inside. Absolutely ridiculous.

Air fry at 190°C for 10–12 minutes, stirring halfway, until browned and slightly crispy around the edges.
Allow to cool slightly.
Mix through the pickles, ketchup, mustard, and grated cheddar.
Lay a spring roll wrapper onto a board.
Spoon a small amount of filling into the centre.
Fold the sides in and roll tightly.
Seal the edge with a little water.
Repeat until all the filling is used.
Lightly spray the basket with oil.
Place the spring rolls into the basket in a single layer.
