  • Easy to Make: Simple ingredients and minimal prep time.

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato (about 400g), peeled and diced
  • 150g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 sheets of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Place the diced sweet potato on a baking tray, drizzle with a little olive oil, and roast for 20–25 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Allow to cool.
  • In a frying pan, sauté the chopped onion and garlic over medium heat until translucent and fragrant.
  • In a large bowl, mash the cooled sweet potato. Add the sautéed onion and garlic, crumbled feta, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

2. Assemble the Rolls

  • Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
  • Cut each sheet in half lengthwise, creating two long rectangles per sheet.
  • Spoon the sweet potato and feta mixture along one side of each rectangle, forming a long log shape.
  • Fold the pastry over the filling and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
  • Cut into desired sausage roll sizes (mini rolls for snacks, larger ones for meals).

3. Bake

  • Place the rolls seam-side down on a lined baking tray.
  • Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if using.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.

Serving Suggestions

  • Sweet chili sauce
  • Garlic aioli
  • Herbed yogurt dip

They also taste fantastic cold, making them ideal for picnics or packed lunches!

Tips for Success

  • Roast the Sweet Potato: Roasting instead of boiling enhances the sweet potato’s natural sweetness and adds depth of flavor.
  • Season Well: Feta is salty, so taste the filling before adding extra salt.
  • Make Ahead: These rolls can be assembled ahead of time and frozen raw. Just bake from frozen, adding an extra 5 minutes to the cooking time.
