The kids have officially grown bored of sandwiches at the moment, so we made up these sausage rolls to go their lunchboxes.
This quick vegetarian sausage roll recipe for kids uses ready roll pastry so it’s simple and easy to make.
Ingredients
- 320g (11 oz) Just-Rol puff pastry sheet
- 8 vegetarian Lincolnshire style sausages
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 220C/430F (200C/390F fan assisted). Unroll the pastry, leaving the backing sheet on for now.
With a sharp knife, score into 8 equal pieces. Folding the pastry to give you guidelines will help.
Line up a sausage with the edge of the a pastry square and roll slightly, then press along the edge.
Continue rolling.
Press the pastry along the seam to seal.
Repeat until all 8 are wrapped.
Place on a lined baking tray, seam down. I used the paper that the pastry was original wrapped in.
Slash each roll three times diagonally with a sharp knife.
Brush each roll with a little beaten egg.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and well puffed.
Enjoy!
I warn you, these are very moreish, so put them away in an airtight container in the fridge as soon as they’re cool or there will be none left for lunch!

This looks like an easy enuf recipe to try. I always tend to shy away from baking pasteries but I might just try this. Thanks for sharing!

Barbara says
Planning this for Book Club! Do the sausages need to be frozen?
Thank you!
Emily Leary says
Hi :) Chilled should work fine, just keep an eye on the timing as obviously they will take less time to get to an initial heated point.
Beth says
Can’t wait to make these! Simple, fun and super yummy! Thanks much for sharing. Oh, btw, I never have ‘posted’ on a recipe site before. I totally know and agree with you and I’m glad you responded to the ‘skin’ on sausage comment.
Emily Leary says
Thanks Beth!
alex says
a very tasty and very quick sausage roll. My kids love them.
I saw on masterchef that if you eggwash before slashing then the pastry puffs up more.
I did that yesterday and it looks even better.
Thanks for the idea x
Laurie says
This is a great idea. I like buying the veggie sausage rolls but I dont like the fact that most of them have a bunch of junk in the white flour part, so maybe I can even try to make my own pastry. Thanks!!
The Foodie Blog says
Ooo now I ate my first veggie sausage this week and loved it! All I need now is an oven and I’ll be set for these. Scamp adored the veggie sausages so one day *prays to the oven gods* we’ll make these.
Cool idea for a lunch box :D
(ps. *ping* )
Stacey Guilliatt says
Must try these, my mouth is watering!
Janice says
I saw Lorraine Pascale do something similar with sausages. I was always taught to use sausage meat or take the skin off the sausages which makes the sausage rolls easier to bite into. But I guess if you are using frozen sausages that is not going to be so easy!
Emily Leary says
:) we’ve made these since I was little. You don’t need to take the skin off veggie sausages as they don’t really have a skin like meat sausages.

Perfect packed lunch food.
