To prepare these vegetable egg rolls, you can bake or air fry them from frozen. For baking, arrange them on a baking sheet and cook in a preheated oven until golden brown and heated through. If using an air fryer, place them in the basket and cook according to the appliance's instructions, ensuring they become crispy. Avoid thawing them before cooking, as this can affect the wrapper's texture. They are best served immediately after cooking for optimal crispiness.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to spring rolls, egg rolls typically have a thicker, chewier wrapper that is often fried to a crispier texture. The filling in egg rolls is also generally more substantial and cooked before being wrapped, whereas spring rolls often contain raw or lightly cooked ingredients and have a thinner, more delicate wrapper.

How to keep the rest
