Sausage rolls are a family favourite, I just love a pastry with a wholesome filling, enjoyed with a side of salad, it makes the easiest and yummiest lunch.
These easy vegan sausage rolls hit the spot. The filling is made with vegetables, herbs and spices.
I really like these sausage rolls as they can be made ahead, 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 for 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.
✔️What you’ll need
🥘Ingredient Notes
Produce - use only fresh vegetables to make standout vegetable sausage rolls
Mushrooms - button mushrooms work well
Puff pastry - pre-made was used in this recipe. Both normal and gluten-free varieties were successfully used.
Allspice* - gives a wonderful flavouring of various spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Allspice is a berry from the tropical Pimenta dioica tree
🔪Step by Step Guide
Here’s how to make vegan sausage rolls;
Filling
Step 1 - Heat oil in a frypan over med-high heat and sweat onions until soft. Add mushrooms and cook until half wilted. Drain all excess juice using a strainer.
Step 2 - Place onion and mushroom in a large mixing bowl, add all remaining filling ingredients and combine
Assembly
Step 2 - On a flat surface, place one sheet of thawed puff pastry dough sheet. Cut in half to have two separate rectangles. See video. Mould filling into a line across one edge. Roll pastry to cover filling and place on a lined baking tray. Seam face down.
Step 3 - Cut into the desired size, brush with oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Repeat until all filling is used up.
Baking
Step 4 - Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) until golden and flaky, approx. 30 minutes, turning halfway for even baking.
Step 5 - Transfer baked vegan sausage rolls to a wire rack and allow to cool down for 5 minutes, Serve warm.
💡What to serve with?
Vegan sausage rolls can be served as an appetiser when cut up into small pieces with sauce (try my fry sauce) or for lunch with your preferred salad, try fattoush or tabouli.
💭Pro Tips
The filling should not be soggy
The filling size should be appropriate to the dough, allow the dough to close over. Do not overfill
Leaving a perimeter on the side (running parallel to the filling - not the ends) helps to roll the puff pastry and create a seam with the pastry ends
Thaw dough, as per instructions on the packaging
Work fast with thawed puff pastry dough, as it will be fiddly to handle (as it is too soft)
Placing the seam down onto the tray helps to ensure the pastry doesn’t open during baking
🍳Variations
Sesame seeds can be replaced with poppy seeds or left off
Use gluten-free puff pastry if required
For a gummier filling add ½ cup of rice flour to the filling and mix through thoroughly, you may need to adjust spices and seasoning to taste

I’ve tried a couple of different vegan sausage roll recipes and I will definitely go back to this one!
Just the right amount of spice very tasty
I used a food processor to mince the mushrooms up and added Tuscan kale to pan of onions and mushrooms
Brilliant recipe well done! Thank you very much
