These super Easy Sausage Rolls have just 3 ingredients and only take 5 minutes to prepare. A sheet of puff pastry, your favourite sausages and then a whisked egg to make them all golden and crispy.
Sausage rolls are such a childhood classic, and they are a must on any party food buffet. Kids love them as snacks too and these couldn't be easier to make, as we have used ready made puff pastry and store bought sausages. These are great for batch cooking and storing in the freezer too.

Step by step
One: Take a sheet of puff pastry and slice in to 4.
Two: Take the sausages out of the casing and place them in the centre of each strip of pastry.
Three: Fold one side over the sausage meat and using a fork, crimp the edge all the way down.
Four: Slice each strip in to 9 pieces.
Five: Put the individual sausage rolls on baking trays and brush with the egg wash. Put in a preheated oven at 180°C/350°F/Gas 4 for 25 minutes, until they are cooked through.
Hidden vegetables
We love anything that we can sneak vegetables in to, and that's easy to do with these sausage rolls. After you have taken the sausage meat out of the casing, put it in a bowl and add a little finely grated carrot and then mix it all together. You can then follow the rest of the instructions.
What to serve them with
These are meant as a little snack or party food, so you wouldn't really serve them with a side. However, sausage rolls need a dip and we recommend our Homemade Healthier Tomato Ketchup or Healthy BBQ Sauce.
FAQs
Puff pastry is the way to go when it comes to those lovely puffy sausage rolls. We are big fans of anything that saves us time, so we used store bought pastry. We have made our own before, but it's so time consuming and we honestly can't taste the difference. Feel free to make your own though.
There are so many sausage options out there, so you can use whatever is your favourite. We used chicken sausages, to keep them lean, however you could use pork sausages, or even veggie/vegan sausages.
A good way to add lots of extra flavour for easy sausage rolls is to use flavoured sausages like pork and apple, chicken and apricot or lamb and rosemary.
Yes, these freeze really well. This recipe makes 40 sausage rolls, which is quite a lot, so we always freeze half of them and then we can just get them out of the freezer, defrost and then reheat for 20 seconds in the microwave.
These will also store well in the fridge in an air tight container for 3 days.
Extra tips
- We used store bought pastry, however you make your own if you wanted to save money.
- You can use your favourite sausages in this recipe, and even use veggie and vegan sausages.
- Add extra flavour by using sausages with plenty of herbs and seasoning.
- Don't add too much sausage meat to each strip of pastry, as you will struggle to close the roll.
- Add some extra flavour with a thin layer or chutney before you put the sausages on the pastry.
- You could sprinkle these with sesame seeds after the egg wash.
