Sweet potato and feta 'sausage' rolls are a delicious and healthy vegetarian alternative to traditional sausage rolls. This flavorful recipe combines the sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes, the richness of feta cheese, and the crunch of walnuts, all wrapped up in flaky puff pastry. It's a perfect dish for parties, snacks, or even a light meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into small cubes.
- Spread the sweet potato cubes on a baking tray and roast them for about 25-30 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Allow them to cool slightly.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, finely chop the onion.
- In a medium frying pan over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion until it becomes soft and translucent. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed onions, walnuts, feta cheese, rosemary, and cinnamon.
- Mix thoroughly, slightly mashing the sweet potatoes until the mixture holds together but still has some texture.
- Lay out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut each sheet in half lengthwise to create 4 long rectangles.
- Divide the sweet potato mixture evenly among the four pastry rectangles.
- Shape the filling into a long log shape along the center of each rectangle.
- Fold one side of the pastry over the filling to enclose it, then press to seal the edges. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch if desired.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl.
- Brush the top of each sausage roll with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish when baked.
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the top of the rolls.
- Place the assembled rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake them in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly before cutting them into smaller pieces for serving.
- Enjoy your sweet potato and feta ‘sausage’ rolls warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Roast the sweet potatoes until they're soft and slightly caramelized for maximum flavor.
- Let the sweet potato mixture cool slightly before adding the feta cheese to prevent it from melting too much.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the puff pastry into even-sized rolls for a more professional look.
- Brush the pastry with beaten egg for a beautiful golden color and a shiny finish.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for an added crunch and a nutty flavor.
- You can prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate it until you're ready to assemble and bake the rolls.
- Serve with a dip, such as tzatziki or sweet chili sauce, for an extra burst of flavor.
These sweet potato and feta 'sausage' rolls are not only tasty but also packed with nutrients. The combination of sweet and savory flavors, along with the crispiness of puff pastry, makes them a crowd-pleaser. They're easy to make and perfect for a variety of occasions. Enjoy them hot out of the oven, or store them for later—they're just as delicious either way!
