01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 425°F and lightly greasing a baking sheet. Next, spray a large skillet with nonstick spray and warm it over medium heat. Toss in the carrots, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, green pepper, green onions, and garlic, cooking and stirring for about 3 minutes until the veggies are just crisp. Add the chicken and cook it through, which should take another 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, water, soy sauce, a teaspoon of oil, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper. Pour this sauce into the skillet with the chicken and veggies, then cook everything over high heat, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens—this usually takes around 2 minutes. Once thickened, take the skillet off the heat.

Step 3
Lay out your egg roll wrappers and spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the bottom third of each one. Fold in the sides and roll them up tightly, then place each roll seam-side down on your baking sheet. Give the tops a quick spray with nonstick spray to help them crisp up.

Step 4
Pop the egg rolls in the oven and bake until they’re lightly browned and crispy, about 10 to 15 minutes. Let them cool for a minute or two before digging in!
Why you’ll love it
These egg rolls are crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful fillings on the inside. They make a great appetizer or snack that everyone will enjoy. Plus, baking them instead of frying makes them a bit healthier without losing any crunch.
How to serve
Serve these egg rolls with a side of sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping. They also pair nicely with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables to balance the meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake them in the oven at 350°F until crispy again, rather than using a microwave to keep the texture.
