vegetable egg rolls;
I’ve been trying to eat healthier. I’ll admit I did take a break when I was in Germany–you can read about alllll the food in my post german castles and bavarian food; No regrets. But one of the reason I love this recipe for vegetable egg rolls is because it satisfies a late-night craving without all the extra sodium and MSG. And they’re tasty to boot!
It’s completely a vegetarian recipe too! And baked. While of course if I had the choice, I’d be all up on those fried pork eggrolls, but for a homemade version without the guilt, it’s a pretty good alternative.
You’ll definitely want to coat the rolls with oil so that they get nice a crisp. You can use a pastry brush and paint them, but I actually prefer to use a spray. It gives an even lighter coating and more coverage.
This is definitely a fresh recipe, so you get that crisp crunch. It’s also great to meal prep ahead of time and bake off right before a party or for an easy appetizer.
