Sausage and Broccoli Rabe Egg Rolls
We love a traditional egg roll recipe but also love filling egg roll wrappers with other fun combinations! Broccoli rabe and sausage is one of my favorite pasta combinations, so I knew I would like these Sausage and Broccoli Rabe Egg Rolls! They’re a great option for a party appetizer since they can be made ahead and frozen and are delicious dipped in your favorite marinara sauce.

What is the difference between broccoli and broccoli rabe?
Broccoli and broccoli rabe are similar yet very different. Broccoli rabe, also known as rapini, has thinner stems and smaller florets than broccoli and also has leafy greens.
Italian Egg Roll Filling Ingredients
Here’s what’s in these egg rolls:
Sweet Italian chicken sausage Broccoli rabe Shallot and garlic Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes White wine Parmesan Egg roll wrappers
For these egg rolls, I sauté the sausage with broccoli rabe and shallots and then add garlic, salt, black and red pepper, and white wine. Then I drain the mixture and mix in the Parmesan before filling the egg rolls.
How to Freeze
These egg rolls can also be made ahead and frozen to keep on hand for snacks or apps.
To freeze uncooked egg rolls, transfer to a freezer bag and seal, squeezing as much air out as possible. Freeze for up to six months. To cook the frozen egg rolls in the air fryer, preheat the air fryer to 320F and cook for 12 to 14 minutes. Turn them halfway through and cook until golden brown and crisp. Serve them immediately with dipping sauce if desired. If you’re using the oven, bake frozen egg rolls at 350F for 25-30 minutes.
Variations:
Swap turkey sausage for chicken or use a spicy Italian sausage. Substitute broccoli rabe with broccolini. Switch out the shallot for red onion. Use chicken broth instead of white wine.
