Vegetarian Sausage Rolls

Sneak in loads of veggies in these homemade sausage rolls

This vegetarian sausage rolls recipe is honestly one of the yummiest things I have ever made. Loaded full of hidden veggies, these homemade sausage rolls are not only delicious but are also gluten free and packed full of nutritious ingredients like hemp seeds, zucchini, lentils and carrots.

These are perfect for kiddies lunches or even the fussiest of meat eaters. It is ironic, my partner owns a couple of butcher shops in Sydney and they now use this recipe for their vegetarian sausage roll options! The parents love being able to sneak in the extra veggies into their kids diets, and trick their partners into thinking they are eating a meat sausage roll too.

Make a big batch for a quick and easy meal:

I love to pre-make a big batch of these vegetarian sausage rolls and pop them in the freezer. You can do this two ways, cook and freeze or freeze uncooked. I find freezing them uncooked is the better option. It keeps the sausage mixture moist and the pastry flakey when you cook them, but it is up to you!

If you are going to freeze them uncooked, don’t put the egg wash on, and freeze them on a tray first, then once frozen, transfer to a container.

If you don’t eat them all, you can easily pop the un eaten ones into the freezer and re heat them for another day.
