What You Need
Our Thermomix Vegetarian Sausage Rolls are made using pantry and fridge staple ingredients.
Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.
- Garlic - you can use fresh garlic cloves or minced garlic in this recipe.
- Onion - use a brown onion.
- Carrot & Zucchini - or substitute with sweet potato or your choice of vegetables.
- Herbs - use dried mixed herbs (or your favourite dried herbs).
- Walnuts - these give the sausage rolls a nutty texture and flavour.
- Rolled Oats - use regular old fashioned rolled oats (not quick oats).
- Eggs - I recommend using large eggs (60g each).
- Feta Cheese - I use recommend using either a creamy Danish feta or Greek Feta for this recipe.
- Bread - stale bread is best! However, you can you fresh bread if you don't have any stale to make the bread crumbs, but I do suggest toasting it first.
- Puff Pastry - make sure your pastry is not completely defrosted (still slightly firm) when rolling. If the pastry is warm and defrosted, the mixture will spill out and the pastry will be very difficult to roll.

Trudy says
My son loves these, no-one picks them for vegetarian. Great you can hide whatever veggies. Always make a double batch and freeze.
Carole-Anne says
If I were to add sweet potato, would I cook this first?
Lucy says
Or you could just finely grate it!
Kylie Barnes says
Made these recently after my sister brought them on a family holiday, and they were absolutely delicious! Even my carnivore teenaged boys loved them!! Hubby's turn to cook tonight and he's chosen to make them again!! Thank you! Kylie
Faye Boyes says
I love this recipe. Thanks for the extra ideas. How long do cooked Veg sausage rolls last in the fridge?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Faye, Thank you! I usually keep them in the fridge no longer than one week.
Kate says
These are delish. The whole family loved them. Thanks so much for the great recipe!
Lauren Matheson says
Thanks Kate!
Sarah says
If I want to use a bag of breadcrumbs from the store, instead of the stale bread, how much should I use?
Lauren Matheson says
I'd use around 1/2 a cup 🙂
Kkm says
These sausage rolls are amazing. I made them. My really fussy husband ate them without even realising that they’re filling with “not the usual” stuff!! Brilliant!
Lucy says
Oh that's awesome!
Alice says
Would you freeze these before putting them in the oven or after?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi ALice, I freeze them after I've baked them. To reheat, just cook on 190 for around 15 minutes xx
Hazel says
I love rolls thank you for sharing the recipe..
Hazel says
Seems to be yummy. I love rolls thank you for sharing the recipe..
Mel says
Looks great! Can you suggest anything to replace the walnuts with to make it lunch box friendly? (i am clueless in the kitchen without a recipe or Thermie sp can’t think of anything!) thanks so much.
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Mel, apologies for the delay getting back to you 🙂 You can easily leave them out, I'd probably add extra breadcrumbs to replace them. I hope that helps 🙂
Carol says
I make the basic recipe all the time but I'll try this one next time.
To answer Mel, I replace the walnuts with the same weight of sunflower kernels (due to the no-nut rule at school).
I also use the thermomix Sour Cream Pastry for them which takes a bit more time but is five times as delicious as the bought stuff. 🙂
