What Are Vegan Sausage Rolls

Homemade vegan sausage rolls are made without any animal products. The puff pastry is made with dairy-free ingredients and the filling is usually made with vegetables and legumes or a meat alternative.

These easy veggie pasty rolls hit the spot. The filling is made with vegetables, herbs and spices.

I really like these vegetable sausage rolls as they can be made ahead, and stored in a freezer for when needed to bake them fresh.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Ridiculously easy - simply make the filling, roll and bake
• They cater to a wide variety of diets other than vegan, they are soy-free and nut-free
• The filling is gluten-free - to make completely gluten-free sausage rolls, select a gluten free puff pastry dough. I usually make a GF version for myself, and the rest of the family with regular puff pastry.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Notes on some of the ingredients, the full list of ingredients and their measurements can be found in the recipe card below.

Carrot, onion, parsley - use only fresh vegetables to make standout vegetable sausage rolls. I like to shred my carrots on a large grater. The onions and parsley have been roughly chopped into small pieces.

Mushrooms -  button or cup mushrooms work well. They will need to be chopped finely, but not neatly.

An interesting quick read is are mushrooms vegan? Another delicious recipe with mushrooms is this raw mushroom salad or here is a list of vegan mushroom recipes.

Vegan Puff pastry - pre-made was used in this recipe. Both normal and gluten-free varieties can successfully be used. Read the ingredients list and look for a logo to determine if the puff pastry is vegan.

Canned kidney beans need to be drained, rinsed, and then mashed. I leave the skin on (more fiber). Kidney beans are a great source of protein.

Allspice (affiliate link) and black pepper - gives a wonderful flavoring of various spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Allspice is a berry from the tropical Pimenta dioica tree. Black pepper is synonymous with sausage rolls. Use as much as you like.

How To Make Vegan Sausage Rolls

Prepare The Filling

Wilt the mushrooms by heating oil in a frypan over med-high heat and sweat onions until soft. Add finely chopped mushrooms and cook until half wilted. Drain all excess juice using a strainer.

Combine the veggies and beans. Place onion and mushroom in a large mixing bowl, add all remaining filling ingredients and combine.

Assemble The Rolls

Add the filling to a dough sheet. On a flat surface, place one sheet of thawed puff pastry dough sheet. Cut in half to have two separate rectangles. See video. Mold filling into a line across one edge. Roll the pastry dough sheet to cover the filling and place it on a lined baking tray with the seam face down.

Cut to size. Cut into the desired size, brush with oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Repeat until all filling is used up. Place each vegan sausage roll next to each with a gap in between on a lined baking sheet tray.

Baking Instructions

Bake in a preheated fan-forced oven at 180°C (356°F) until golden and flaky, approx. 30 minutes, turning halfway for even baking. Transfer the baked rolls to a wire rack and allow to cool down for 5 minutes. Best served immediately to maximum flakiness.

What To Serve With?

Vegan sausage rolls can be served as an appetizer when cut up into small pieces with sauce (try my fry sauce) or for lunch with your preferred salad, try a side of this chopped salad or quinoa taboula.

I also love to drink homemade lemon mint juice, it's so refreshing with this pastry.

Put a couple of these in a lunch box. Check out this list of vegan recipes for kids, you may find other lunch box ideas here.
