Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic salt, and finely chopped green onions. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the Rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrap on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the cream cheese filling onto the center of the wrap, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly, sealing the edges with a bit of water.
Repeat: Continue assembling the rolls until all the cream cheese filling has been used, placing each roll seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush with Oil: Lightly brush each roll with vegetable oil to promote crispiness during baking.
Bake: Place the rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve with sweet and sour sauce for dipping.
Cook Notes and Variations:
Add Crab or Shrimp: For a seafood twist, add some cooked crab or shrimp to the cream cheese filling for a delicious variation on classic crab rangoon.
Spice It Up: Add a kick of heat by mixing in some Sriracha or crushed red pepper flakes to the cream cheese filling.
Air Fryer Method: To achieve an extra crispy texture, try cooking the rolls in an air fryer instead of baking them in the oven. Simply preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the rolls in batches for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
