Baked Spring Rolls

Baked spring rolls, crispy crunchy and delicious and so much healthier than deep-fried spring rolls.

I have always like springs rolls, but never liked how they left me with the horrible heavy greasy feeling in my stomach  from the deep-frying.

Technically spring rolls should be healthy they contain quite a few nutritious vegetables, but all that good is undone by all that oil!

So my solution was to make Baked Spring Rolls using filo pastry, and they are really good, a little time-consuming with all the assembly but not too bad and the kids love to help (although that generally makes the process longer)

As with a lot of the meals I cook, you can be very versatile in the ingredients you use, it does not really matter and makes them taste a little different every time.

Use what ever vegetables you like, and change-up your meat, chicken, pork or lamb all make delicious spring rolls or leave the meat out altogether for a vegetarian option.

Delicious served with this homemade sugar free sweet chilli sauce

If you are vegetarian just leave out the meat, they will still be delicious.
