Why You’ll Love These Vegan Sausage Rolls
- Crispy & Flaky: Puff pastry delivers that perfect crunch.
- Hearty & Filling: Tofu, spinach, and potato flakes combine to make a satisfying vegan “sausage” filling.
- Nutrition Boost: Tofu provides plant-based protein, while spinach adds a boost of vitamins and minerals.
- Versatile: Serve them warm or at room temperature – ideal for picnics, lunchboxes, or party spreads.
Step-by-Step Method
STEP 1 - Make the Filling
Crumble the firm tofu block directly into a pan. Add the olive oil, fennel seeds, garlic powder (if using), and the vegan chicken stock cube. Stir and cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes to let the flavours develop.
STEP 2 - Add Seasonings & Spinach
Add the dark soy sauce and the thawed, finely chopped spinach. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
STEP 3 - Bind with Potato Flakes
Sprinkle in the potato flakes (aka instant mashed potatoes - make sure it does not contain milk powder), then pour in the boiling water – just enough to bring everything together and form a cohesive filling. Stir thoroughly.
STEP 4 - Assemble the Sausage Rolls
Roll out your puff pastry sheet and lay the filling in two long strips along both long edges. Cut the pastry down the centre to create two long filled “sausages.”
STEP 5 - Prepare for Baking
Brush the top of the pastry with oat milk and sprinkle generously with black and white sesame seeds for extra crunch and visual flair.
STEP 6 - Slice & Bake
Cut each long roll into bite-sized pieces and space them out on a lined baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for about 20 minutes or until the pastry is beautifully golden brown.
STEP 7 - Serve & Enjoy
Let them cool for a few minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature. They’re delicious fresh out of the oven or as part of a vegan finger food platter!
