These Vegetable Egg Rolls offer a flavorful, crispy appetizer or snack filled with a savory mixture of sautéed vegetables and Asian-inspired sauces. Baked to perfection instead of fried, they provide a lighter yet equally delicious alternative to traditional fried egg rolls, perfect for parties or family meals.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup red onion, minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 3 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (julienned)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

Assembly

  • 12 egg roll wrappers (7″ square)
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat and heat oil. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat 2 teaspoons of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for sautéing the vegetables.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables. Add the minced red onion to the heated oil and cook for 3-5 minutes until translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and fresh ginger and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Stir in shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-5 more minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  3. Add Sauces. Stir in 1 tablespoon each of oyster sauce and soy sauce. Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors well. If the mixture looks watery, add a small amount of cornstarch to thicken. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool, ensuring any excess moisture evaporates.
  4. Assemble Egg Rolls. Place about 1/4 cup of the cooled vegetable mixture in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold one corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and then roll tightly. Use water to moisten the final corner, sealing the egg roll securely.
  5. Prepare for Baking. Place the assembled egg rolls on a baking sheet and spray them lightly with cooking spray to promote browning.
  6. Bake the Egg Rolls. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the egg rolls begin to brown, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
  7. Broil to Crisp. To achieve a crunchier exterior, place the egg rolls under the broiler for 1-2 minutes per side, monitoring carefully to avoid burning.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce and oyster sauce alternatives and gluten-free wrappers.
  • If oyster sauce is not preferred, substitute with hoisin sauce for a vegetarian-friendly version.
  • Ensure the filling is cooled before assembling to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy.
  • Use cooking spray lightly to achieve golden crispiness without deep frying.
  • Broil carefully and watch closely as the egg rolls can burn quickly under high heat.
