Hidden veg sausage rolls FAQs
What veggies can I put in sausage rolls?
You can add almost any vegetables to sausage rolls, but those that grate easily tend to work best. Our hidden veg sausage roll recipe uses grated carrot and courgette, which blend seamlessly into the sausage meat mixture.
Why do my homemade sausage rolls have soggy bottoms?
If your homemade sausage rolls are soggy on the bottom, this could be due to the filling being too wet or the oven being not quite hot enough. Try baking them on a wire rack or mesh tray as this can help the pastry cook evenly and stay crisp underneath.

Undercover and hidden veggies
Any parent will know how difficult it can be to get kids to eat their vegetables. There always seems to be something more exciting on the plate! The “undercover” method is a tried and tested way to sneak more goodness into their meals. From these hidden veg sausage rolls to hidden veg mac and cheese, there are plenty of clever ways to add more vegetables into the diets of kids and grown-ups alike.
What other vegetables go well in sausage rolls?
Plenty of vegetables pair well with sausage meat. Onions or celery add extra flavour, while grated apple brings a subtle sweetness. If you want to use chopped veggies rather than grated, it can be a good idea to sauté them gently for a few minutes first to soften them. This helps prevent the sausage meat filling from becoming too coarse or crunchy once baked.
How to store sausage rolls
One of the best things about homemade sausage rolls is how well they freeze. You can fully prep them (leaving off the egg wash) and freeze them uncooked. First, freeze them on a baking tray, then transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight container. When you’re ready to bake, just brush them with beaten egg and put them straight in the oven – adding 5-10 minutes to the usual cooking time.
