If you couldn’t tell yet we are big Florida Gator fans in this house. Football season starting last week was the highlight of our year. Although the Gators looked a little rough at times we are hoping for a decent season.
We live a few hours outside of Gainesville so we don’t usually go to all the games, but try to make it to a few games a year. We especially like to go to SEC or National Championship games.
For the games we stay at home we invite a few people over and nibble on snacks. I’m more of a snacking girl when it comes to tailgating or game watching. I like to make a bunch of finger foods and try a little of them all.
I originally saw these little rolls over at Cake & Allie, tweaked the recipe some and decided not to make them mini. It’s much easier to make these a little bit larger, less work and less time.
These spring rolls are easy to make ahead of time. You could even roll up a whole bunch and freeze them. But the best part, they are baked, dare I call them healthy? Sure pretty healthy until you dunk them in ranch dressing, because that’s what you need to do with these. For help rolling a spring roll see this video, or just do as I do and roll, tuck, and pray they stay together.
Remember those fried jalapeno bites from Friday? They are good friends with these spring rolls. They both enjoy bathing in ranch dressing and taste delicious together.
- 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1 15oz can black beans, drained and rinsed

- Spoon about 1 – 1 ½ tbsps mixture onto the center of the spring roll wrapper. For instructions to roll see above, or just do whatever works for you. To seal dab the edge with a small amount of water.

The filling for these springs rolls sounds absolutely delicious! While I love anything and everything deep fried, I’m glad you baked these. Since they’re “healthy” I can eat more of them, right?
Thanks so much for hosting this week!
Lane, these spring rolls look amazing, and I happen to love spring rolls. They’re super crunchy on the outside. Yum! Happy #SundaySupper!
Since I have a veg SIL, I love that these are veg-friendly AND that they’re baked! I can make a lowfat ranch dressing to save even more calories. With the holidays coming, I’m trying to cut back a bit the next few weeks.
Love this recipe Lane! Also love your serving dish. Go Gators!

Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful event Lane. I went to University of Florida for grad school and although I wasn’t able to go to a single game, Gators are the only college team I root for. I love spring rolls and southwest sounds better!
I love that your blog has become so popular lately!
These spring rolls look so good! I’ll have to try this recipe out when we have some friends over to watch football!
These look yummy, and I think the amount of veggies qualifies them as a health food
Jamie @ http://www.mamamommymom.com
I’ve never made spring rolls, but I sure do love to eat them! Pass the plate please
Love the tip to pray that they stay together… that probably is the key! I always get nervous with rolls like this because I tend to overstuff so that they burst. Yours look fabulous!
