Crispy Baked Egg Rolls

I made this recipe for the latest recipe swap hosted by A Taste of Home Cooking. This time the theme was healthy recipes, and I submitted a recipe for turkey cutlets with parmesan crust that I love.

We thought the baked egg rolls were pretty good! I was surprised at how crispy they became in the oven. My husband thought they were missing a little something, but I told him I forgot to buy sweet and sour sauce for dipping. He thought that would have made the difference. I loved just buying the bag of coleslaw mix, I thought that was genius. In the past, when I have helped my mom make her egg rolls we had to shred the cabbage and carrots ourselves. This is a great time-saver that I will be sure and pass on to her.

1 lb. coleslaw mix with cabbage and carrots

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

pinch of ground ginger

1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce

12 egg roll wrappers

1 tablespoon flour + 1 1/2 tablespoons water

cooking spray

sweet and sour sauce for dipping

 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.

In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add coleslaw mix and garlic. Saute 4-5 minutes until cabbage is soft, but not soggy. Add the ginger and soy sauce, stir.

In a small dish, combine flour and water to make a thin paste.

Spoon 3 tablespoons of cabbage mixture into the middle of each of the 12 egg roll wrappers. Working at a diagonal, use a finger to smear some of the paste on each of the 3 corners of the wrapper. Roll from the side not smeared, tucking in the sides, and seal each wrapper into a log. (If you need to, look at the photo directions on Prevention RD’s site, or on the back of the egg roll package). Place each egg roll on the baking sheet.

Bake egg rolls for 12-14 minutes or until beginning to brown. For added crispness, put the egg rolls under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, checking every 20-30 seconds. Remove and let cool for several moments. Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
