Ingredients List
- 1 cup of mixed vegetables (I love using a combination of chopped carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini for a pop of color and flavor!)
- 1 cup of cream cheese (Make sure it’s softened so it blends smoothly with the veggies!)
- 1 package of spring roll wrappers (These are what give the rolls that delightful crispy exterior.)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil (A little drizzle adds richness, but you could also use melted butter if you prefer!)
- Salt to taste (Just a pinch enhances all the flavors!)
- Pepper to taste (I like a little spice, but you can adjust according to your taste!)
How to Prepare Baked Vegetable Rolls
Alright, let’s get those Baked Vegetable Rolls in the oven! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll be enjoying a delicious treat in no time. First things first, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s nice and hot when your rolls are ready to bake.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Chop your mixed vegetables into small pieces. This helps them cook evenly and fit nicely into the rolls.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with the softened cream cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined and you get that creamy, veggie goodness!
- Now, take a spring roll wrapper and lay it flat on your work surface. Spoon a generous amount of the vegetable mixture into the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, tucking them in tightly. Then, roll it up from the bottom to the top, making sure it’s sealed well. You don’t want any of that delicious filling escaping!
- Place each roll on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This keeps them from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Pop them in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!

FAQ Section
Can I use frozen vegetables for the filling?
Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess moisture before mixing them with the cream cheese. This helps prevent soggy rolls.
What dipping sauces pair well with Baked Vegetable Rolls?
You can’t go wrong with a classic sweet chili sauce, but soy sauce, peanut sauce, or even a tangy yogurt dip will elevate these rolls to the next level!
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
They’re perfect when they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside. Just peek in the oven around the 20-minute mark to check for that beautiful color!
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the rolls in advance, then cover and refrigerate them until you’re ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they come straight from the fridge.
What other ingredients can I add to the filling?
Get creative! You can add cooked quinoa, shredded cheese, or even some fresh herbs like basil or cilantro for an extra flavor boost. The sky’s the limit!
Storage & Reheating Instructions
If you find yourself with leftover Baked Vegetable Rolls (which is a rare occurrence, trust me!), you’ll want to store them properly to keep that delightful crunch and flavor intact. First, let them cool completely on a wire rack—this helps prevent sogginess. Once cooled, place the rolls in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper to avoid sticking. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When it’s time to enjoy them again, reheating is key! Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the rolls on the sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until they’re heated through and crispy again. This method helps maintain that lovely texture. If you’re in a hurry, you can microwave them for 30 seconds to 1 minute, but be aware they might lose some of that fabulous crunch!
And there you have it! Now you can savor those delicious rolls even after the initial feast. Enjoy every bite!
Serving Suggestions
Now that you’ve whipped up a batch of those irresistible Baked Vegetable Rolls, let’s talk about what to pair them with for an even more delightful experience! These rolls are versatile enough to shine alongside a variety of dishes and dips.
- Fresh Salad: A crisp garden salad or a zesty coleslaw adds a refreshing touch. The crunchiness of the veggies in the salad contrasts beautifully with the creamy rolls.
- Dip It! Don’t forget about dipping sauces! A tangy sweet chili sauce is a classic, but I also love serving them with a creamy garlic yogurt dip or a spicy sriracha mayo for those who crave a little heat.
- Rice or Quinoa Bowl: For a heartier meal, serve your rolls over a bed of fluffy rice or quinoa. You can even toss in some stir-fried veggies or edamame for added texture and flavor!
- Soup: Pair these rolls with a warm bowl of miso soup or a light vegetable broth. The warmth of the soup complements the crispy rolls perfectly.
- Pickled Veggies: A side of pickled vegetables adds a nice tangy crunch that balances the richness of the cream cheese filling. It’s a delightful addition that will brighten up your plate!
