Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (500g) lean beef mince
- 1 small onion, finely grated
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 small zucchini, grated and excess moisture squeezed out
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons tomato sauce (ketchup), optional for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine beef mince, grated onion, grated carrot, grated zucchini, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Roll out puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry in half lengthwise to form two long rectangles.
- Divide the meat mixture in half. Shape each half into a long log and place along the center of each pastry rectangle.
- Brush one long edge of each pastry rectangle with beaten egg. Fold the other edge over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Crimp with a fork if desired.
- Cut each log into 4 equal pieces (approximately 3 inches each). Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of each roll with beaten egg. Using a sharp knife, make two small slits on top of each roll to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm with tomato sauce for dipping, if desired.
Notes
For a crispier finish, place the rolls on a wire rack set over the baking sheet. You can also freeze unbaked sausage rolls; bake directly from frozen, adding 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
