I always wondered if spring rolls could be baked. I’ve been wanting to try it but here you are affirming the idea. Thank you for sharing… now I could go ahead and bake mine without doubting the idea.

I do agree with you. Since we started baking the spring rolls better than deep frying them we eat them more often and my stomach don’t curl up too much in disgust of “too much oil”…

The idea of using sesame oil seems really tempting! And your sauce seems yummy, I’ll have a go at it and give you feed back!

Thanks, Juliana, Sophie, and Jennifer!!
Jessica- The wrapper does crisp up because it is brushed with sesame oil, although it is less crispy than deep-fried rolls. The texture is similar, and is definitely recognizable as a spring roll. I would say that the main difference is that the inner layers may not be quite as crunchy. It could also depend on what you fill the rolls with- I used a filling I had never tried in a spring roll before, whereas if I had used the cabbage and rice noodle, etc. like in the ones I get as take-out, it would have tasted even more alike!

Beautiful spring rolls. Great idea to bake them! The almond butter dipping sauce looks really tasty too.

Does the spring roll wrapper crisp up with baking? Is the texture similar or is it just to be appreciated differently?

Waw,…that sauce looks incredibly tasty, Koko!!

I allways bake my spring rolls in the oven because of the health issues.
I think I like your filling too!

MMMMMM,….lovely!
