These crispy Baked Egg Rolls are super easy to make, full of flavor, and make the perfect appetizer or side dish the whole family will love!
I am a HUGE fan of egg rolls. Seriously, anytime we go to an Asian restaurant, I order the same thing. Chicken fried rice with egg rolls. It might sound simple but it’s so delicious! I decided to attempt to make my own one evening and they were just as amazing. This is a great recipe because they are super simple to make too! Fried egg rolls are delicious but deep frying isn’t exactly healthy. That’s another reason these baked egg rolls are such a hit in my book!
Just thinking about them is making me want one right now! I paired them with some Kung Pao chicken recipe as a main dish and it was an instant family favorite! The great thing about finger foods is that with any kind of dipping sauce, they are often irresistible to kids. These delicious rolls are no exception!

*For exact measurements, see the full recipe card down below.
How to prepare
- In a medium bowl, mix together coleslaw mix, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and desired amount of pepper/salt.
- Cover and place in the microwave for about 3-5 minutes, until the coleslaw mix is cooked. Drain any excess liquid and stir to coat seasonings.
- Lay egg roll wrappers out (I was able to make 9 egg rolls with one bag of coleslaw mix). Place about 1/2 cup of the mixture in the center of the wrapper and fold in sides. Once the sides of the wrapper are pulled in, roll to close the egg roll.
- Place egg rolls on a sprayed cookie sheet or parchment paper.
- Spray additional spray on top of egg rolls and bake in a preheated oven (375) for 10-15 minutes, flip to the other side, and cook additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy!
The Difference Between Egg Rolls and Spring Rolls
The difference between these two similar rolls is that spring rolls are wrapped in a thinner flour or rice wrapper. Egg rolls on the other hand, are wrapped in a thicker and crisper wrapper that’s traditionally dipped in egg for more flavor.
Egg Roll Dipping Sauce Options
- Sweet and sour sauce
- Sweet chili sauce
- Oyster sauce
- Plum sauce
- Duck sauce
Baked Egg Roll Variations
- Adding meat: While this recipe is vegetarian-friendly, many choose to add ingredients such ground chicken, ground turkey, or ground pork to their egg rolls.
- Adding other vegetables: Other popular egg roll ingredients include, fresh ginger, red cabbage, broccoli slaw, bell pepper, bean sprouts, and green onions. It’s all about your own personal preference and what you enjoy most!
Storing Leftover Egg Rolls
If you plan to save egg rolls for another day, ensure they’ve cooled off from baking. Then you can store them in an airtight container for up to three to four days in the refrigerator. You can also wrap them in cling wrap and store them in the freezer for up to three months!
