When my mom went gluten-free, she handled it like a champ. Except for one thing. Her love for Big Macs. The woman lives for that saucy, cheesy, pickle-packed bite.
So naturally, I had to figure out a way to bring the burger magic back without the bun.
Enter rice paper Big Mac spirals. Think of them as Big Mac-inspired burger dumplings. Crispy, juicy, wrapped in golden rice paper instead of bread, and packed with all the flavors she loves. Even my mom was impressed, which is saying something.
If you’re craving fast-food flavor but need a gluten-free twist, these hit the spot. Just maybe make a double batch. You’ll want seconds.
Why these rice paper Big Mac spirals work
Rice paper crisps beautifully in the oven while keeping the filling hot and melty. Rolling everything into a spiral gives you maximum crunch with minimal effort, and every bite delivers that familiar burger flavor without feeling heavy.
"YUM! I love the spiral lineup and this tops the list"
Chef Josh gets creative with his rice paper spirals and I love trying them. This one is my favorite though, it's all the best parts of a Big Mac but feels healthier!
Rice Paper Big Mac Spirals
Ingredients
- 3 rice paper sheets
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sautéed ground beef
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- ¼ cup diced onion
- ¼ cup diced pickles
- Sesame seeds
- Paprika
- Garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, fold together the sautéed ground beef, mozzarella, diced onion, and pickles. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Whisk the eggs on a plate. Dip each rice paper sheet into the egg wash for a few seconds, then lay them out on a lightly oiled cutting board, overlapping slightly.
- Spoon the filling in a line across the rice paper. Roll into a tight cylinder, then gently curve it around itself to form a spiral.
- Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 15–20 minutes, until golden and crisp. Serve warm with your favorite burger sauce.
Notes
- Serve these hot for the best texture and melty center.
- Leftovers reheat well in the oven or air fryer to bring back the crisp.
- Swaps: This recipe is naturally gluten-free as is! To make this dairy-free, swap the cheeses to non-dairy alternatives.
