Veggie-Packed Sausage Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet Carême All Butter Puff Pastry, thawed

• 500g good quality pork mince (or substitute with beef or chicken mince)

• 1 small zucchini, grated (squeeze out excess moisture otherwise you will have soggy pastry)

• 1 small carrot, grated

• ¼ cup mushrooms, finely chopped (optional)

• ½ small onion, finely diced

• ½ cup fresh breadcrumbs

• 1 egg

• 1 tbsp tomato sauce (I use the Mingle)

• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp dried oregano

• ½ tsp salt & pepper

• 1 additional egg, whisked, for egg wash

• Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan-forced 180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage mince, grated zucchini, carrot, mushrooms, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. Assemble the Sausage Rolls

• Lay the Carême Puff Pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it in half lengthwise.

• Divide the sausage mixture into two portions and shape each into a long log along one edge of each pastry strip.

• Roll the pastry over the filling and place the seam side down. Cut into bite-sized pieces or leave longer for classic sausage rolls.

4. Brush & Bake

• Brush the tops with whisked egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds for extra crunch.

• Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.

5. Cool & Pack

Let the sausage rolls cool before packing them into lunchboxes or storing for later. Serve with tomato sauce or relish for dipping.

Lunchbox & Meal Prep Tips

• Pack in school lunches: These sausage rolls taste great cold and stay fresh for hours.
• Freeze for later: Store unbaked sausage rolls in the freezer and bake from frozen when needed.
•  Pair with healthy sides: Add fruit, veggie sticks, or a homemade dip for a balanced meal.
•  Reheat easily: Warm them up in the oven or air fryer for a quick snack.
