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 vegetable 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.

🔪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 quinoa taboula.

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

💭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

Rather than brushing with oil, here is a list of egg wash substitutes to consider.
