In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, grated carrot, green onions, and minced garlic.
Add coconut aminos, sesame oil, fish sauce, and black pepper to the pork mixture and mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and add it to the pork mixture as a binder, mixing thoroughly.
Place one spring roll wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the pork mixture onto the lower third of the wrapper, shaping it into a log.
Roll the wrapper over the filling, tightly folding in the sides as you roll, until the filling is completely enclosed.
Repeat the filling and rolling process with the remaining wrappers and pork mixture.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) or an oven to the same temperature if baking.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket or a baking sheet with avocado oil.
Place the lumpia in the air fryer basket or on the baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they're not touching.
Lightly spray the tops of the lumpia with the avocado oil spray to help them crisp up.
Cook in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, turning once halfway through, or bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes until the lumpia are golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
Allow the lumpia to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as an appetizer or a main dish with your favorite Whole30 compliant dipping sauce!
