Ingredients & Substitutions

You can find the full printable recipe, including ingredient quantities, below. But first, here are some explanations of ingredients and steps to help you make this recipe perfect every time.

Vegan Sausage: Use your favorite plant-based sausage. I like using Beyond Beef Sausage, Impossible Sausage, or Gimme Lean.
Puff Pastry: Opt for vegan-friendly puff pastry (check the label for butter-free options). I use Pepperidge Fam Puff Pastry, but as ingredients can change, always check the labels. Let the puff pastry thaw in the fridge for easy handling.
Breadcrumbs: Use plain or seasoned breadcrumbs for added flavor. Panko adds a slightly crunchier texture.
Vegan Butter: Softened vegan butter ensures the egg wash has a smooth, silky finish.
Plant-Based Milk: Almond, oat, or soy milk all work beautifully for the wash.
Maple Syrup: This secret ingredient enhances the golden crust and adds a delicate sweetness.

Why You’ll Love These Vegan Sausage Rolls

Perfect Texture: They combine a flaky, buttery puff pastry crust with a hearty, savory filling.
Better Binding: The breadcrumbs add a light texture that binds the mixture while enhancing the savory sausage flavor.
Golden Finish: Our signature vegan egg wash (with a hint of maple syrup) ensures a beautifully golden crust every time.
Satisfying Bites: Every roll offers the perfect harmony of crispy pastry and rich, plant-based filling.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Here’s a simple breakdown of how to make vegan sausage rolls. For the full recipe, check out the printable recipe card below.

Step One: Preparation

Kick things off by preheating your oven to 420°F (210°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so cleanup is a breeze! Make sure your puff pastry and vegan sausage are fully thawed—this is the secret to easy handling.

Step Two: Prepare the Pastry

Place one sheet of puff pastry on a clean, lightly floured surface. Cut the sheet in half, then repeat with the second sheet. You’ll end up with four long, gorgeous strips of pastry ready to be filled.

Step Three: Mix the Filling

Grab a mixing bowl and combine your vegan sausage and breadcrumbs. Stir the mixture until it’s perfectly blended. If you’re feeling hands-on, don’t be afraid to use your fingers to ensure everything is evenly incorporated!

Step Four: Fill, Roll, and Slice

Time for the fun part! Divide your sausage mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a long log along the edge of each pastry strip. Fold the pastry over the filling, overlapping just a bit. To get a perfect seal, dip your finger in a little water and run it along the edge before pressing it closed. Then, flip the roll so the seam is facing down.

Cut each log into six even pieces (about 1 1/2 inches each) to get 24 rolls. Don’t forget to score the tops of each roll with a knife—this little step lets the steam escape and prevents them from bursting open.

Step Five: Brush and Bake

For that signature golden glow, whisk together your vegan butter, plant-based milk, and maple syrup. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of each roll. Bake for 20–25 minutes, rotating your tray halfway through to ensure an even, beautiful bake.

Step Six: Cool and Serve

I know the smell is tempting, but let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before serving. They’re fantastic warm and even better when paired with your favorite dipping sauce!

Serving Suggestions

Sausage rolls are so irresistibly delicious, they’re sure to disappear straight off the plate! But if you want to take them to the next level, pair them with a variety of dipping sauces for a fun, flavorful twist. Here are some of my favorite vegan-friendly dips to serve alongside:

Vegan Honey Mustard: A perfect balance of tangy and sweet.
Plant-Based Ranch Dip: Creamy, herby goodness that never goes out of style.
Vegan Blue Cheese Dressing: Rich and indulgent, with just the right amount of tang.
Date-Sweetened BBQ Sauce: Smoky and naturally sweet—great for BBQ lovers.

Whether you’re serving them at a party, packing them for lunch, or enjoying them as a snack, these dips will make every bite even more satisfying!

Storing Sausage Rolls

Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
Freeze: Arrange unbaked rolls on a tray, freeze until solid, and transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 5-10 minutes to the baking time.

Instructions

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 420°F/210°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Pastry
Lay out pastry sheets onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet in half, lengthwise, creating four long strips.
Prepare the Sausage Mixture
In a mixing bowl combine sausage and breadcrumbs. Stir together until well combined.
2 cups vegan sausage, ¼ cup breadcrumbs
Shape the Filling
Divide the sausage mixture into four equal portions Spoon each portion onto each pastry, creating a long log, about the same length as the pastry strips. Place each sausage log along the center of a pastry strip.
2 sheets puff pastry
Seal the Rolls
Fold the pastry over the sausage filling, overlaying it slightly. Dip your fingers in water and run that along the open seam of the pastry (to bind the pastry together). Roll the log until the pastry is seam side down. Ensure the seam is tight to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
Cut into Portions
Using a sharp knife, cut each log into six even, 2-inch pieces for a total of 24 rolls. Place the rolls seam-side down on a prepared baking sheet.
Cut 2 to 3 diagonal slits in the top of each piece. This allows steam to escape
Brush and Garnish
In a small bowl, prepare the vegan egg wash by combining ingredients and stirring to combine. Brush the tops of each roll with this mixture.
1 teaspoon vegan butter, 2 tablespoons plant-based milk, ½ teaspoon maple syrup
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. You may need to rotate the pan about halfway through baking to make sure the rolls bake evenly.
Cool and Serve
Allow the sausage rolls to cool slightly before serving. They're delicious warm or at room temperature.

Frequently-Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of vegan sausage for this recipe?

Absolutely! The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility. While I personally love using brands like Beyond Beef or Impossible Sausage for their texture, any plant-based sausage that mimics the consistency of ground meat will work. If you prefer to make your own, a seitan or lentil-based crumble also holds up beautifully.

Why do my sausage rolls sometimes leak or open up while baking?

This usually happens for two reasons: overstuffing or a loose seal. Be careful not to pack too much sausage into the pastry—you want a nice balance. When sealing, remember to use a light dab of water on the edge of the pastry before pressing it down; this acts as the “glue” that keeps the rolls shut tight.

How do I keep the bottom of the pastry from getting soggy?

The secret is in the heat! Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 420°F before you put them in. Using parchment paper also helps, but the most important step is to let them rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes after they come out of the oven. This allows the steam to escape and the pastry to set, ensuring that crisp, flaky bite every time.
