Veggie Sausage Rolls

Veggie sausage rolls - super easy to make, they will be loved by young and old

Who doesn’t love a sausage roll…  my little guy certainly does so I was keen to make a healthier version.  These veggie sausage rolls are made using chickpeas, carrots and feta and are super simple to make.

Simply add most ingredients to a food processor and then combine the remaining with your hands.  Add the mixture to your ready rolled puffed pastry, form into logs and cut in to whatever size you like. I like to keep them small.

Serve with tomato sauce or chutney and enjoy as a snack, at lunch time or even dinner with a simple salad.

They also freeze really well, just pop them back in the oven to defrost and become crispy again.

Serve these veggie sausage rolls with chutney or tomato sauce.  Store bought is fine or try my homemade fresh tomato sauce.

Veggie Sausage Rolls

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 30 veggie rolls

Ingredients

  • 3 sheets ready rolled puff pastry
  • 1 onion
  • 400 gram tin chickpeas drained
  • 2 carrots roughly sliced
  • small handful fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp dried mixed herbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 slices wholemeal bread
  • milk
  • 100 grams feta (half a block)
  • sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F).  Remove pastry from freezer and allow to defrost on bench covered with a damp cloth
  • Add onion to the food processor and pulse to chop. Add to a large bowl.  Add chickpeas, carrot and parsley to the processor now and process until finely chopped.  Add to the bowl along with the onion.
  • Also add the dried herbs and 1 egg.  In a separate bowl add the bread and pour some milk over and allow to absorb.  Squeeze as much liquid out as possible and also add to the mixture.
  • Using your hands, mix until well combined.  Crumble the feta into the mixture and stir to combine.  Small chunks of feta are good. 

To assemble the veggie sausage rolls:

  • Cut a puff pastry sheet in half.  Add the chickpea mixture along the long edge (you can make them as big or as little as you like).  Add a little water along the edge and roll the pastry over to seal.

  • Cut into 5 rolls and add to a lined baking tray.  Continue with the remaining mixture and pastry.

  • Brush the rolls with the remaining egg (lightly beaten) and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
    Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with tomato sauce or chutney.

    These look lovely – and squeeze in extra vege! Our daycare is egg free. Do you think I could leave them out or should I replace with a ‘chia egg’ to help bind it?

      Hi Caitlin, I would just leave the egg out. I think it will still bind well without it. xx

    I have heard from several veggie friends that sausage rolls are a great miss when it comes to not eating meat. With that in mind, making a vegetarian version is a great idea. They sound delicious, and so easy to make. Perfect for a winter night’s supper.

      Hi Kristal, Panko is so crunchy so I’m not really sure. I think it may be ok but can’t guarantee. Let me know how it goes if you try it.

      Hi Belinda, yes I cook them before freezing. If I know they are all going in the freezer I will often not cook them right up, that way when I put them back in oven to defrost and crisp up they won’t get too brown.

    Thanks for the great recipe, these are delicious!
    Just in case anyone else was wondering, I’ve more recently tried making these both Dairy Free and Egg Free too. I used Soy Milk / Dairy Free feta cheese, and then used an egg replacement for the egg. Didn’t make them go nice and golden and the top, but was definitely better then without (which I also tried).
    To make them smoother in texture (as I was making for a 1st birthday party… plus I only have a hand blender), I actually finely grated the carrot with the chickpeas and parsley and blitzed into a smooth, thick puree. Worked really well and was like the consistency of ‘sausage meat’ if that’s the texture you’re after.
    As these are for kids, I liked that the recipe didn’t call for salt, however it would definitely benefit from the additional seasoning if making for adults.

    These were absolutely delicious! Easy to make and pretty cheap to make too. I’m trying to get our household more meat free and these were a hit – my 4 yr old loves them too.
    I took some over to my parents to try (they were skeptical because they were veggie) and now my whole family is talking about them!
    Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. what a great find for me your blog is.

    Just made these and added some mushrooms, zucchini and sweet potato and subbed out chives for the parsley as that’s all I had. What a great recipe! I feel like you could pretty much add any veg to this and it would taste great. Have frozen a big batch for lunchboxes too with approval from the kids who smashed them. Thank you for sharing 😁

    I didn’t have any bread so used oats, no feta so used cheddar.
    A big hit with my toddler and my meat eating husband.

      Hi Rose, no need to freeze if you are eating them the next day. Just cook and store in the fridge, pop them back in the oven when you are ready to heat them through. I think if you left them uncooked in the fridge overnight the pastry may go soggy.

    Hello Cristie!

    FYI I am vegan and these were the closest non tofu sausage rolls I could find. I just used egg replacer, and also gluten free bread crumb mix, and cashew cheese, so all same quantity.

    My partner absolutely LOVED them.

    Alot of recipes have nuts which he didn’t like, or the tofu.

    THANK YOU!😊🌈

    I know why the reviews are so good on this

    I made them for dinner tonight, my toddler ate 5 pieces !!!! I added some spinach to mine aswell just because it was a couple of days away from dying in my fridge! I loved them.

    Is there a recommended way to freeze these??

      Thanks so much Deanna, they are one of the most popular recipes on my blog. My son loves them too. I haven’t tried freezing them but I’d imagine they would be fine to do so. Just allow to defrost in the fridge and then heat in the oven to crisp them up again.
