These Crispy Oven Baked Egg Rolls offer a healthier twist on the classic fried version by baking them to golden perfection. Filled with a flavorful mix of cole slaw, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce, they make a delicious appetizer or snack that's crispy on the outside and tender inside, without the excess oil from frying.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 bag cole slaw mix (about 14-16 oz)
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Wrapping and Cooking

  • Egg roll wrappers (enough to make 8-9 egg rolls)
  • Cooking spray (olive oil or vegetable oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cole slaw mix, minced garlic, ground ginger, soy sauce, and salt and pepper to your preference. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  2. Cook the filling: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a microwave-safe lid and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, until the cole slaw is softened and cooked through. Drain any excess liquid thoroughly to prevent soggy egg rolls, then stir the filling again to coat evenly with the seasonings.
  3. Assemble the egg rolls: Lay the egg roll wrappers flat on a clean surface. Place about 1/2 cup of the cooked filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from one end to the other to enclose the filling securely, sealing the edge to prevent opening during baking.
  4. Prepare for baking: Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the assembled egg rolls on the sheet, spacing them evenly.
  5. Spray and bake: Spray the tops of the egg rolls lightly with cooking spray to help achieve a crispy, golden exterior. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully flip each egg roll to the other side, spray again if desired, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the egg rolls are uniformly golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain all excess moisture from the cooked filling before assembling to keep the egg rolls crispy.
  • You can customize the filling by adding cooked ground meat, shrimp, or tofu for additional protein.
  • If you prefer, brush the egg rolls lightly with oil instead of spraying to control oil distribution.
  • Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best crispiness.
  • Use gluten-free egg roll wrappers and tamari if you want a gluten-free version.
