WW Baked Vegetable Egg Rolls - 1 pt ; 22g Carbohydrate; 1g Dietary Fiber

Ingredients :

1  head  Chinese Cabbage -- outer leaves removed, shredded
2  medium  Carrots -- peeled and shredded
2  medium  Garlic cloves -- minced
2  medium  Scallions -- white and green parts, chopped
1  tbsp  Ginger Root -- fresh, minced or 1/2 tsp dried
1  tbsp  low-sodium Soy Sauce
2  tsp  Cornstarch
1  tsp  Sesame Oil
8  average Egg Roll Wrapper -- about 1/2 oz each
4  sprays  Olive Oil cooking spray -- or enough to coat egg rolls

Preparation Method :

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. Place cabbage in a microwavable dish and cover. Microwave on high until wilted, about 4 minutes; drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add Carrots, Garlic, Scallions, Ginger, Soy Sauce, Cornstarch and Oil; mix well.

3. Arrange egg roll wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Spoon cabbage mixture diagonally onto each wrapper. Fold over one corner to cover filling. Fold up both corners. Moisten edges of remaining flap with water and roll up wrapper jellyroll style until sealed. Transfer egg rolls to prepared baking sheet and coat with cooking spray.

4. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve hot.

Makes 8 egg rolls

Note : We renovated Egg Rolls by: Baking, not frying, the egg rolls. Minimizing the amount of oil in the filling and instead relying on zero-POINT foods for flavor. Omitting the pork and bulking out the egg rolls with nutrient-rich vegetables instead. Baking instead of deep-frying these popular Chinese appetizers allows us to serve up egg rolls for a mere fraction of their pre-renovated version.
