Baked Egg Rolls

These egg rolls are super easy to make, and a crowd pleaser.

Ingredients

egg roll wrappers
a bag of coleslaw mix
1 tsp garlic, minced
1/4 tsp ginger
a splash of soy sauce
salt and pepper
EVOO cooking spray

I added a little ground chicken into a few of them

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Put your coleslaw in a large microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave 3-6 minutes.
Once the slaw has cooked, drain (no one likes a soggy egg roll).
Mix in garlic, ginger, soy sauce salt and pepper.

  • Place some filling into the middle of the egg roll wrappers fold in two opposite corners (make sure you have a small bowl of water to seal the edges with).
This is some with the Chicken
  • Put a bit of water on the top edges with your finger. Fold up the bottom, and roll as tightly as you can to the edge.
  •  Repeat for the rest of the wrappers, and place the egg rolls on a baking sheet sprayed with EVOO cooking spray....spray the tops of the egg rolls with the oil, too.
  • Bake 15 minutes then turn and bake an additional 10 minutes
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce (mines duck sauce)


ENJOY
