Ingredients
Scale
Egg Rolls
- 1 package Egg Roll Wrappers
- Cooking Spray (olive oil or vegetable oil), for spraying
Filling
- 1 bag Cole Slaw Mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cole slaw mix, minced garlic, ground ginger, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cover and microwave for 3-5 minutes until the cole slaw mixture is cooked through. Drain any excess liquid and stir to evenly coat the seasonings.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointed towards you. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared cole slaw filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the corner closest to you over the filling, fold in the sides tightly, then roll up the wrapper away from you. Seal the edge with a small amount of water to keep it closed.
- Arrange and Prepare for Baking: Place each wrapped egg roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls with cooking spray to help them crisp while baking.
- Bake the Egg Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Flip the egg rolls halfway through the baking time to ensure they cook evenly and become golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure to spray the egg rolls lightly with oil before baking.
- These egg rolls can be served with your favorite dipping sauce like sweet chili or soy sauce.
- Cooking times may vary slightly based on your oven—watch closely to avoid burning.
- Make sure to drain the cooked filling well to prevent soggy wrappers.
- This recipe is easily customizable by adding cooked protein like shrimp or chicken if desired.
