👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Prepare the filling:
In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cabbage, carrots, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.
3. Assemble the rolls:
-
Lay a wrapper flat.
-
Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling near one edge.
-
Fold in the sides, then roll tightly like a burrito.
-
Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
4. Bake to crispy perfection:
Lightly spray each roll with oil. Bake for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crisp.
🔥 Air Fryer Option: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping once.
🥣 Dipping Sauce Ideas
These spring rolls are even better with a tasty dip. Try:
-
Sugar-free sweet chili sauce
-
Soy sauce with a splash of rice vinegar and sesame oil
-
Garlic-lime aioli
-
Sriracha mayo
📦 Storage & Meal Prep
-
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
-
Freezer: Freeze uncooked spring rolls and bake straight from frozen — just add a few extra minutes to cook time.
💡 Tips & Variations
-
Swap chicken for ground turkey, shrimp, or tofu for different protein options.
-
Add bean sprouts, mushrooms, or bell peppers to customize the filling.
-
