This is a healthier version of the deep-fried spring roll. My family really enjoyed these. You can serve these as an appetizer, but I served them as a main dish. Based on a Rachael Ray recipe.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 - red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 - celery ribs, finely chopped
6 - whole water chestnuts, finely chopped
1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh bean sprouts, chopped
2 cans lump crab meat, drained and flaked (2 6 oz cans)
2 tablespoons tamari (or dark soy sauce)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
4 sheets phyllo dough, defrosted (13 x 17 in. each)
4 tablespoons butter, melted

How To Make baked crab spring rolls

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Add the oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute eht pepper, celery, water chestnuts and onion for 2-3 min. Then transfer to a bowl. The veggies should still retain some crunch.
Step 3

Add the bean sprouts, crab, tamari and thyme to the bowl of veggies. Combine well.
Step 4

Brush half a sheet of phyllo dough with melted butter and fold the sheet in half, making almost a square.
Step 5

Put a few spoonfuls of filling 2 inches from the bottom of the sheet (leaving 2 inches at either side of the sheet).
Step 6

Fold the bottom half up and side edges in, then roll up and over until you reach the top of the sheet. The crab pastry should be looking like a spring roll at this point.
Step 7

Dab the edges and sides of the roll with melted butter and put it seam-side down on a baking sheet.
Step 8

Repeat for the rest of the phyllo sheets/crab & veggie mixture.
Step 9

Bake on the center rack of your oven for about 15 min., or until lightly golden all over.
