Introducing the Healthy Chicken and Vegetable Sausage Rolls, ideal as a tasty snack or for sharing at your next get-together!


Here are the ingredients you need:

1. 1 cup (70g) of fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
2. 500g of chicken mince
3. 1 egg, plus 1 extra lightly beaten egg
4. 1 zucchini, finely grated
5. 1 carrot, finely grated
6. 1/2 onion, grated
7. 1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves
8. 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
9. 4 sheets of frozen puff pastry, just thawed
10. 1 tbsp sesame seeds
11. Tomato or sweet chilli or sauce, optional, to serve


Kick things off by preheating the oven to 200°C and lining two baking trays with baking paper.

Process the breadcrumbs, chicken, and unbeaten egg in a food processor until thoroughly combined. Place the mixture in a bowl and mix well with vegetables and herbs. Make sure to season it with some salt and pepper.

Place a single pastry sheet on a floured surface and halve. Spoon an eighth of the mixture lengthways along the centre of each piece. Fold one edge of the pastry over and gently tuck it in beside the filling.

After that, fold over the opposite side to make a roll and press down lightly to seal. Repeat the steps with the remaining pastry and filling.

Cut the rolls into small pieces and make two small incisions into each roll to prevent them from splitting. Arrange them on the baking sheets before covering them and popping them in the fridge for 30 minutes. Brush the top of each roll with some beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the rolls are lightly browned and cooked through. Serve with sauce on the side if desired. Bon appetit!
