Homemade Hidden Vegetable Sausage Rolls with a Twist
The best hidden veg sausage rolls — easy homemade pork sausage rolls with grated carrot and zucchini. Perfect for kids' lunchboxes, parties, and freezing ahead.
Ingredients
- 500g pork mince
- 1 carrot, finely grated
- 1 small zucchini (or half a large one), finely grated
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- A couple of tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- 2 generous squirts tomato sauce
- 2 generous tablespoons caramelised onion relish
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 sheets ready-made puff pastry, defrosted
- Egg wash, milk, or olive oil, for brushing
- Sesame seeds, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).
- In a bowl, combine the pork mince, caramelised onion relish, grated carrot, grated zucchini, garlic, tomato sauce, egg, breadcrumbs, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper if using. Mix well.
- Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions.
- Slice each sheet of puff pastry in half. Shape each portion of meat into a log and place it along the middle of each pastry half lengthways.
- Brush one long edge with a little water, then roll up so the pastry slightly overlaps and seals.
- Cut each log into 6 pieces and place on a lined baking tray.
- Brush the tops with egg wash, milk, or olive oil, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
- Bake for 25–35 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
Notes
I find there's enough salt in the sauce, but if you prefer more, feel free to add.
You can substitute half or all of the pork mince with beef mince or sausage mince.
You can substitute the onion relish with a finely chopped onion and a tablespoon or so of Worcestershire sauce.

Nothing like a home made sausage roll :) I normally make mine with sausage mince, super cheap and goes a long way. Sometimes you get that fatty mince taste with sausage rolls but adding a grated green apple fixes that problem and you wouldnt even know its added. Love your site, ideas and recipes :)
Yum, thanks for the apple tip! Where do you get sausage mince? I can never seem to find it.
