Chicken and Vegetable Sausage Rolls are a lighter twist on a classic party favourite, made with flaky puff pastry and a flavour-packed chicken filling. Lean chicken mince is combined with grated zucchini, carrot and red onion, plus fresh parsley, panko breadcrumbs and Worcestershire sauce for a juicy, well-seasoned filling.
Wrapped in golden puff pastry and topped with sesame seeds, these homemade sausage rolls bake up crisp on the outside and tender inside. Perfect for entertaining, lunchboxes or easy snacks, they can be cooked in the oven or air fryer and are delicious served warm with tomato chutney and fresh salad leaves.
Ingredients
