Gluten-Free Egg Roll Wrappers Recipe Ingredients

A complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

Tapioca Flour: This is a key ingredient in our gluten-free egg roll wrappers. It’s a great alternative to wheat flour and gives the wrappers a light, crisp texture.
Rice Flour: Another gluten-free alternative to wheat flour, rice flour helps to provide structure and a slightly grainy texture to our egg roll wrappers.
Xanthan Gum: This ingredient is a must-have in gluten-free cooking and baking. It acts as a binder and helps to improve the elasticity and texture of the wrappers.
Eggs: Eggs are used in this recipe to help bind the ingredients together and add moisture to the dough.
Fillings: The best thing about these egg rolls is that you can fill them with whatever you like. Consider your favorite veggies and proteins, and have it along with some gluten-free sweet and sour sauce for dipping – it’s optional but so good!

How to Store Gluten-Free Egg Roll or Wonton Wrappers

Store: If you find yourself with leftover gluten-free egg roll wrappers, simply place them in an airtight container and pop them into the fridge. They should keep well for up to 3 days.
Freeze: These wrappers freeze quite well. Just make sure you place a piece of wax paper between each one to prevent sticking. They can be stored in the freezer for future use for up to one month.
Thaw: When you’re ready to use your frozen wrappers, it’s best to let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator. This will make sure that they’re ready to roll when you are.

Top Tips 

Choose the Right Flour: For this gluten-free egg roll wrappers recipe, tapioca flour and rice flour are the best choices. They provide the right texture and hold the filling well. If you have a preferred gluten-free flour, feel free to experiment, but remember, the texture might change.
Don’t Skip the Eggs: The eggs play a crucial role in getting the texture just right and holding everything together. There isn’t really a suitable replacement for them in this recipe, so it’s best not to skip them.
Roll the Dough Correctly: The dough for these egg roll wrappers is quite fragile. To prevent tearing, keep the dough slightly thicker than usual, around ¼-inch. Rolling it out too thin or too thick can lead to issues when filling and cooking.
Keep the Wrappers Moist: As you work, keep a damp cloth or paper towel over the egg roll wrappers to prevent them from drying out. This makes them easier to work with and helps them hold their shape.
Experiment with Fillings: While the recipe suggests a specific filling, feel free to experiment with your favorite ingredients. Just remember to keep the filling amount to 3-4 tablespoons to guarantee that the egg rolls don’t burst during cooking.
