Ingredients
  

  • 8 pieces spring roll wrappers rice paper or wheat wrappers
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon oil spray for crisping
  • 1 egg beaten egg optional, for shiny finish
  • to taste sesame seeds for topping

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Brush
  • Spray bottle

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gather your wrappers and filling ingredients.
  2. Combine shredded carrots, cabbage, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl. Mix well until the vegetables are evenly coated and slightly softened.
  3. Lay a spring roll wrapper flat on a damp towel to prevent drying. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling near one corner of the wrapper.
  4. Fold the corner over the filling, then tightly roll up the wrapper, tucking in the sides as you go. Seal the edge with a little water or beaten egg to prevent it from opening during baking.
  5. Place the rolled spring rolls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Lightly spray or brush the tops with oil for a crispy finish.
  6. If desired, brush the tops with beaten egg for a glossy, golden look. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added crunch and visual appeal.
  7. Bake the spring rolls for about 20-25 minutes, turning the baking sheet halfway through, until they are deep golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the baked rolls from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes to set the crust. They should be crisp and fragrant with a slight crunch when you bite into them.
  9. Serve the baked spring rolls warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy, sweet chili, or vinegar-based dips.

Notes

For extra flavor, add herbs like cilantro or mint to the filling. To keep wrappers moist during assembly, cover them with a damp towel. Seal edges thoroughly to prevent filling leaks during baking.
