Egg Roll Florets

Got a food processor and need to shred some cabbage? I am always amazed at how fast and quickly our food processor shreds cabbage. I’m so impressed that sometimes I look for ways to use cabbage just so I can watch it work.

So, I started with cabbage, added some carrots, then stared at my bowl of shreds thinking “what now?” What now turned into Egg Roll Florets.

¼ head of cabbage
4 carrots
4 green onions
2 stalks of celery
Balsamic vinegar
Dash of honey

Shred all ingredients; add vinegar and honey to taste.
Place in the center of an egg roll paper then paint the edges with egg whites and pinch together to create a flower shape.

Place on a cookie sheet.
Spray florets with cooking oil and bake at 425°F for approximately 8-10 minutes.
Turn once during cooking so that all sides crisp evenly.

Once brown and crisp serve as a complement to your main dish.

Use wonton paper instead of egg roll paper for a more bite size floret or for a great appetizer.
