Why Baked Veggie Spring Rolls Are a Must-Make
These spring rolls distinguish themselves by delivering all the crunch you love with far less oil. Baking them yields a wonderfully crisp wrapper and tender, flavorful filling. The simple assembly and crowd-pleasing taste make these a hit for parties, meal prep, or as a satisfying side for Asian-inspired meals.
The Secret to Flavorful Veggie Filling
Start with a medley of colorful vegetables—think shredded carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, and bean sprouts. Saute the filling until just tender with aromatics like garlic and ginger, and a splash of soy sauce or tamari for depth. Let the filling cool before rolling to prevent soggy wrappers and ensure even baking.
How to Roll and Bake Perfect Spring Rolls
Lay one wrapper on a flat surface and spoon some cooled filling along the lower edge. Roll tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Brush each roll lightly with oil for that signature crisp finish and bake them on a lined sheet, flipping halfway through to brown both sides evenly. Serve with a tangy dipping sauce for an appetizer that disappears fast!

Plate these spring rolls hot out of the oven with a side of soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or a homemade peanut dip. Pair them with a fresh cucumber salad or a bowl of miso soup for a satisfying meal. Their crisp texture also makes them a standout addition to lunchboxes or party platters.
