Cooking Tips for Perfect Oven Spring Rolls
Achieving a crispy texture can be tricky when baking instead of frying, but I’ve got some tips to make sure your spring rolls come out crunchy every time.
- Brush the spring rolls generously with oil before baking. This helps promote browning and crispness.
- Make sure not to overfill the spring rolls or they may split open while baking. About 2-3 tablespoons of filling per roll is perfect.
- Bake the rolls on a parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each one. Crowding will lead to soggy rolls.
- Bake at a high temp (400°F) to crisp up the outside before the inside overcooks.
- Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes before serving. The texture continues to set as they cool.
Serving Suggestions
I like to serve oven-baked spring rolls as an appetizer with a flavorful dipping sauce like sweet chili or peanut sauce. They also make great snacks, side dishes, or additions to a Asian-inspired meal.
For parties, set out a platter with an assortment of dipping sauces for guests to customize. The possibilities are endless!
FAQs
Can you freeze baked spring rolls?
Yes! First bake them for half the recommended time, let cool completely, then freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag. Reheat directly from frozen at 400°F for 12-20 minutes.
How long do baked spring rolls last in the fridge?
Baked spring rolls will keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 400°F oven for 5-10 minutes before serving.
What can I use if I don’t have spring roll wrappers?
You can substitute egg roll wrappers or wonton wrappers in a pinch. They are slightly thicker so they may need a minute or two extra baking time.
Can I make baked spring rolls ahead of time?
Absolutely! Assemble and bake the spring rolls up to 1 day in advance. Let cool completely then refrigerate until ready to serve. Reheat for 5-10 minutes at 400°F.
Conclusion
Oven-baked spring rolls are my new favorite way to enjoy this appetizer classic. Ditching the frying makes them easier and healthier without sacrificing any of that signature crunch. With flavorful fillings and dipping sauces, these crispy rolls please crowds and are fun for weeknight dinners too. I hope you’ll give my baking method a try next time spring rolls are on the menu!
