Ingredients

• 1 medium, julienned Carrot
• 1 small, julienned Red bell pepper
• 1 cup, thinly sliced Cabbage
• 0.5 cup Bean sprouts
• 2 stalks, finely chopped Green onions
• 1 teaspoon, grated Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce, low sodium
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 16 sheets Rice paper wrappers
• 0 as needed Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the carrot, red bell pepper, cabbage, bean sprouts, green onions, ginger, and garlic. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the soy sauce and sesame oil to the vegetable mixture and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Fill a shallow plate with warm water and dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds, until soft and pliable.

Step 5

Lay the softened rice paper wrapper on a clean, damp kitchen towel.

Step 6

Place about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture near the bottom edge of the wrapper. Fold the sides and roll tightly upwards to form a roll.

Step 7

Place the completed roll on the prepared baking sheet and repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 8

Lightly spray the spring rolls with olive oil spray to ensure they crisp up in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the spring rolls are golden brown and crispy, turning once halfway through the baking time.

Step 10

Let the spring rolls cool slightly, then serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
