Crispy, golden, and filled with cheesy veggie goodness—these Cheesy Baked Vegetable Rolls are the ultimate snack or light meal. They’re quick to make, totally customizable, and super satisfying.
Perfect for lunchboxes, party platters, or lazy-day cravings, they’re best served hot with a side of marinara or your favorite dipping sauce.
Ingredients & Swaps
- Mixed Veggies: Use what you have—carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, corn, mushrooms, or spinach all work. Fresh or frozen is fine (just chop small and drain well).
- Cheese: Mozzarella melts beautifully, while cheddar adds a bold flavor. Vegan cheese is a great dairy-free option.
- Garlic: Fresh gives the best flavor, but garlic powder works in a pinch.
- Wrappers: Spring roll wrappers are ideal. You can also use wonton wrappers, puff pastry, or even tortillas—just adjust the size and shape.
- Seasoning: Italian seasoning is a classic, but feel free to try taco seasoning or curry powder for a fun twist!
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 1 cup finely chopped mixed vegetables (carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, etc.)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
For the Rolls:
- 8–10 spring roll or wonton wrappers

How to Make Them
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Sauté the Veggies
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, then toss in the chopped veggies. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft. Stir in seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture cool slightly.
3. Add the Cheese
Once cooled a bit, mix in the shredded cheese until evenly combined.
4. Fill & Roll
Place 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Use a little water or egg wash to seal the edges if needed.
5. Bake to Golden Perfection
Place the rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet. Lightly brush or spray with oil. Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
6. Serve & Enjoy
Let the rolls cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped herbs or red pepper flakes, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce!
Tips & FAQs
Can I use frozen veggies?
Yes! Just thaw and drain well to prevent sogginess.
No spring roll wrappers?
Try puff pastry or tortillas. Cut into squares and follow the same method. Bake until golden!
Can I make them ahead of time?
Absolutely. Assemble and refrigerate unbaked rolls up to 24 hours in advance. Bake straight from the fridge, adding 2–3 extra minutes.
Storing leftovers?
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes for a crispy finish.
