Crunchy vegetable and prawns spring rolls
Spring rolls have always been a popular snack. They make a great starter and an excellent appetizer. Most people would have had them in Chinese restaurants or supermarkets but how about making your own?
I have used some leftover filo pastry I had in the fridge. Of course you can make your own if you like but I honestly find it tricky to make so it is one of those things I prefer to buy.
Usually spring rolls should be fried but for a lighter version I decided to bake them instead. Brushing them with oil will give them a nice crunchy bite and a "bronze" colour and they will be equally tasty.

Instructions
Wash the vegetables and with the help of a mandolin slice them into small strips ( you can also use just your knife)
Chop the onion finely and stir fry it in a pan with 2 tbsp of olive oil.
Add the vegetables and the soya sauce and stir well. Cook for about 15 minutes until soft
Add the prawns and cook for a further couple of minutes
Cut every filo pastry sheet into two halves lengthwise
Put 3 tsp of the cooked vegetables and prawns on every half sheet

Che buoni, li ho assaggiati a casa di mia figlia! Ottima la tua versione al forno! Ciao
Hi Alida, I love spring rolls but don’t like it deep fried. I like these healthier version that are baked. Thanks for sharing, now I want to go get some filo pastry.
I love these spring rolls are oven baked instead of fried. And the filling sounds really tasty.
I love these spring rolls sounds delicious!!
Hi Ros,
Yes you can prepare them in advance. They heat up in the oven OK.
