Vegan Sausage Rolls (Gluten-Free) - Rhian's Recipes (2024)

These Vegan Sausage Rolls arecrispy and flaky,with a flavourful sausage meat filling made using onions, mushrooms, walnuts and beans. A quick and easy vegetarian sausage rolls recipe that's just as good as Greggs - even meat eaters will love them! They're also gluten-free and much healthier than traditional sausage rolls!

I decided to make bite-sized sausage rolls as they're easier to make (especially when using gluten-free pastry!) and are the perfect size and shape for serving as an appetizer - especially for Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter!

How to make this recipe

Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.

For the sausage:

• Fry theonionandgarlicfor around10 minutesuntil softened.

• Add the mushrooms and fry for a further 5 minutes until softened.

• Place the cooked onion, garlic and mushrooms in a food processor along with all the other ingredients.

• Blend briefly until just combined - you'll want it to be easy to stick together but still retaining some texture.

• Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

For the pastry:

• Combine the coconut oil, ground almonds, flour and salt in a glass mixing bowlwith about 7 tablespoons of water, until it forms a firm dough.

Tip: Add the water a few tablespoons at a time so that you don’t add too much!

• Lay out a sheet of baking paper on a counter. Sprinkle the surface of the paper and a rolling pin with a generous amount of flour.
• Take half of the pastry dough and use the rolling pin to roll it into an even rectangular shape, as thin as you can without it breaking.

• Use a knife to cut this dough vertically in half and then cut it horizontally into 5 pieces, so that you have 10 mini rectangles in total.

• Take a heaped teaspoon of the filling and place into the centre of each mini rectangle, then roll one side of the pastry on top of the filling and roll over onto the other side to create a ‘blanket’ of pastry.

• Lay out the sausage rolls on a rectangular baking traylined with baking paper.
• Repeat until the rest of the pastry dough has been used up.
• Mix together the agave syrup and almond milk in a small bowl, and use your fingertips, a pastry brush or a small spoon to spread it over the tops of all of the sausage rolls.

• Sprinkle over poppy seeds or sesame seeds.

• Bake in the oven for around 20 minutes, until the pastry crust is firm to the touch and golden brown.

How long do these keep for?

These Sausage Rolls taste best eaten on the day they're made, but they can be stored covered in the fridge for up to a couple of days.

Can they be made ahead or frozen?

These sausage rolls are delicious hot or cold, so they can be made ahead. For best results, I would recommend making them on the day they're going to be eaten.

However, they can be frozen and keep in the freezer for up to a couple of months. For best results, I'd recommend freezing them as soon as they've cooled down from the oven.

How do you reheat them?

To reheat frozen vegan sausage rolls, leave them to partly thaw at room temperature for one hour, then bake them in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don't burn!
