    Crispy Oven Baked Egg Rolls

    2024-09-03

    Oven Baked Crispy Egg Rolls are a healthier version of the popular fried Chinese appetizer. Made by filling an egg roll wrapper with coleslaw mix and seasonings, then baked in the oven until crispy and golden brown. No need to pull out your fryer for this delicious appetizer, side dish, or snack option! Pair these egg rolls with my Chicken Fried Rice for a complete meal!

    Why You’ll Love this recipe

    • Healthier- since these are baked and not fried, they are low in calories and fat! Feel free to go back for seconds!
    • Simple to Make- with minimal steps needed to make these, they can be ready for the oven in under 10 minutes.
    • Easy to Prep Ahead- save on time and prepare these ahead of when you need them. Simply assemble and place in the refrigerator until ready to bake (up to 24 hours).
    • Flavor Packed- garlic, soy sauce, ginger, and coleslaw mix combined makes a mouthwatering combination that everyone will enjoy.

    Baked Egg Roll Ingredients

    • Egg Rolls Wrappers- also known as a won-ton wrappers, store-bought or homemade work great, you can typically find them in the refrigerated produce section of your grocery store.
    • Coleslaw Mix
    • Garlic- minced, fresh is best
    • Ground Ginger
    • Soy Sauce- I use reduced sodium
    • Salt/Pepper- to taste
    • Cooking Spray- olive oil or vegetable oil

    How to make Crispy Oven Baked Vegetable Egg Rolls

    1. In a medium bowl, mix together coleslaw mix, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and desired amount of pepper/salt.
    2. Cover and place in the microwave for about 3-5 minutes, until the coleslaw mix is cooked. Drain any excess liquid and stir to coat seasonings.
    3. Lay egg roll wrappers out (I was able to make 9 egg rolls with one bag of coleslaw mix). Place about 1/2 cup of the mixture in the center of the wrapper and fold in sides. Once the sides of the wrapper are pulled in, roll to close the egg roll.
    4. Place egg rolls on a sprayed cookie sheet or parchment paper.
    5. Spray additional spray on top of egg rolls and bake in a preheated oven (375) for 10-15 minutes, flip to the other side, and cook additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

    Serving Instructions

    These Egg Rolls can easily be served as an appetizer on their own or with a side of additional soy sauce. They can also be paired with Chicken Fried Rice for a complete meal! If you want to keep things a little lighter, but still add in some protein, try serving these with my Copycat PF Chang Lettuce Wraps.

    Feel free to play around with sauces and try a Sweet Chili Sauce, Sweet and Sour Sauce, or Duck Sauce. All of these can be found at the grocery store OR made from scratch!

    How to prepare Egg Rolls in advance

    These crispy baked egg rolls are best served fresh from the oven. If you want to save on time and prepare these ahead of time, you most certainly can.

    Up to 24 hours: Feel free to assemble these as directed and place the cookie sheet into the refrigerator rather than baking. When ready to bake, remove sheet from refrigerator and place in preheated oven. You may need to add additional time as they are chilled.

    From Frozen to Reheated: Bake egg rolls are directed and allow to fully cool. Place cookie sheet into freezer for an hour. Remove them from freezer and place them into a freezer safe container or bag. They are good in the freezer up to 3 months. To reheat from frozen, preheat oven to 400 degrees and allow to cook 15 minutes on each side.

    Recipe Options

    • If you would rather fry them, you can, just watch them in the oil as they will cook quickly.
    • Feel free to add in cooked chicken, tofu, shrimp, beef, or pork if you don’t want them to be vegetarian.
    • Mushroom, sliced bell peppers, celery, and/ snow peas are all great add in ideas to try!
    • Red Pepper Flakes and Sriracha are great to spice these up a bit.
