When we were living in England, our favorite appetizer at any party we hosted were these amazing Spring Rolls sold in this tiny Indian sweet shop.Their Indian style spring rolls were made of just Paneer and tasted divine!It was very different from any other Spring rolls I'd ever had and I instantly fell in love with it!When I picked up some Spring Roll Wrappers from a Korean Store recently, I thought of recreating the same recipe, but with different vegetables for more flavor and some crunch.

These are very mild with just 5 ingredients in the filling and go well with a hot sauce like Sriracha on the side.You could use your imagination and add anything else you want to it like green chillies or some paprika, but I've kept it really simple.The process is fairly easy and does not take too long.These are also good for you since I've baked them instead of deep frying!The result is a crisp, crunchy and delicious appetizer that you can serve your guest at your next party!
