1
First, prepare the filling.
-
2
Combine ground Italian sausage, onion, carrot, spinach, garlic, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, pepper and 1 egg in a bowl.
-
3
Mash it together with clean hands thoroughly like you are making meatballs or meatloaf.
-
4
Set the bowl aside.
-
5
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line two sheet pans with silicone mats or parchment paper.
-
6
Crack remaining egg into a bowl and beat it to make an egg wash. Take the puff pastry sheets and lay them out on a clean work surface.
-
7
Cut them each in half lengthwise to have 6 strips total of puff pastry.
-
8
Divide sausage filling into 6 equal portions.
-
9
Mold one of the portions into a log down the length of one of the puff pastry strips and repeat with the remaining portions to fill each sausage roll.
-
10
Its best to do all fillings at once before rolling them up so you dont have to wash your hands between each roll.
-
11
Roll each puff pastry sheet tightly to surround the sausage log.
-
12
Then brush each roll with egg wash and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
-
13
Cut each roll into 6 equal pieces to have 36 pieces total.
-
14
Line 18 pieces up onto each sheet tray and bake sausage rolls for 20 minutes.
-
15
Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake them for another 10 minutes.
-
16
When they are done, take them out and serve them immediately as a party bite or fun lunch!
-
17
They can also be frozen up to the point before baking.
-
18
Just freeze them in a single layer so that they dont stick to each other and bake them right from frozen as you need them!
-
19
They are traditionally served with ketchup and it works so well.
