“Tee, make those egg rolls again!”
That’s what PawPaw says when he smells boudin in my kitchen.
I’m Tina, Certified Aromatherapist since 2013. In Pearl River, I’m NanaTee. And I found the hack that changed everything:
Air Fryer Boudin Egg Rolls.
All the flavor. None of the grease. Ready in 15 minutes.
Pawpaw said “Tastes better than the deep fryer.” I said “And my kitchen don’t stink for 3 days.”
Daddy brought these to the church potluck. They were gone in 10 minutes.
WHY AIR FRYER INSTEAD OF DEEP FRY
1. **No Grease** - Crispy without the oil bath
2. **Fast** - 12 minutes. No heating up a pot of oil
3. **Easy Clean Up** - One basket. Dishwasher safe.
4. **Make Ahead** - Roll them, freeze them, air fry from frozen
Nanan asked for the recipe. I said “Come to my kitchen. I’ll show you my Instant Pot.”

NANATEE’S “DON’T MESS IT UP” WARNING
I’ve had ladies tell me “Mine got soggy.”
Here’s why:
**Skipped the oil brush** | Pale, not crispy
**Use silicone brush** to coat lightly
**Overstuffed them** | Burst open in fryer
**2 Tbsp filling max**
**No preheat** | Took too long, got dry
**Preheat air fryer** 3 minutes
