Highlighted under: Exotic Treats
I love preparing these Super Bowl Veggie Spring Rolls as a light and refreshing snack for game day. They combine vibrant, fresh vegetables and a simple dipping sauce that everyone enjoys. Rolling these colorful ingredients in rice paper is not only fun but also a great way to customize them according to your preferences. Plus, they can be made ahead of time, allowing me to spend more time enjoying the game with friends and family. Everyone is always impressed by how fresh and delicious they are!
When I first tried making spring rolls, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy they were! I experimented with various fillings, but I always come back to the fresh veggies that not only taste great but also look vibrant. I often use a combination of carrots, bell peppers, and cucumber for crunch and color, along with some fresh herbs for added flavor.
One tip I found helpful is to soak the rice papers just until they are pliable but not too soft; they will continue to soften as you roll them. This way, they maintain their structure and won’t tear during assembly. I usually serve these spring rolls with a simple peanut or soy dipping sauce, which balances the freshness perfectly!

Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip a rice paper into the water for about 10 seconds until it is soft. Lay it flat on a clean surface.

You can customize your spring rolls with ingredients like cooked shrimp, rice noodles, or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
→ How do I store leftover spring rolls?
