We’ve seen many weird and wonderful ways of making slimming Sausage rolls such as bread thins and filo pastry but after tons of experimentation we’ve finally found the perfect recipe for Sausage Rolls that look, taste and have the texture as if you’ve used REAL flaky pastry.
If you were to eat one without knowing what they’re made with, you’d swear it was pastry. We promise you! Because you know exactly what goes into the sausage filling too, you can rest assured there are no nasties hidden in these Sausage Rolls so you can focus on the bigger issue: will you dip them in ketchup or brown sauce?
These Sausage Rolls are also pretty damn tasty, you may never go back to the bakery again. Pile them into a picnic basket or pop them into the kids’ lunchboxes, that is if you can resist them!
What diets are these Sausage Rolls suitable for?
These Sausage Rolls could be made gluten free by swapping out the following ingredients for gluten free versions;
- Tortilla wraps
- Worcestershire sauce
There are a number of brands that offer low calorie gluten free tortilla wraps. You can usually find them in the free from aisle of the supermarket.
You can also enjoy these Sausage Rolls if you’re dairy free.
Please make sure to double or triple check all of your ingredients if you’re cooking for people with allergies.
Vegetarians could swap the pork mince for vegetarian sausages, or perhaps use the filling from our Cheese and Onion Pasties recipe instead!
Do you need any special ingredients to make Sausage Rolls?
The key ingredients in this recipe are the low calorie tortilla wraps and 5% fat pork mince. Both are widely available in supermarkets.
You could even use normal sausages in these Sausage Rolls! If you do, please make sure to remember to adjust the calories, points or nutritional values for any diet plan you are following.

What should you should serve with these Sausage Rolls?
These Sausage Rolls are great all on their own, but you could also add an accompaniment to make a really filling meal.
Whatever accompaniment you choose, don’t forget to account for the extra calories and/or other nutritional values.
How do you know when the Sausage Rolls are cooked?
When the Sausage Rolls are golden and crispy on the outside they will be cooked and ready,
This should take approx 30 minutes in the oven at 200°C.
Standard advice here in the UK is to cook food until it has reached at least 70°C and stayed at that temperature for 2 minutes. This is to keep your family safe.
How long can you keep these Sausage Rolls in the fridge?
Once removed from the oven, ideally you should eat it them within 4 hours.
If you allow any left overs to cool, make sure to refrigerate in a container with a lid and chill. You can keep leftovers Sausage Rolls in the fridge for approximately 3 days or so.
Can I freeze these Sausage Rolls?
Yes you can! This recipe can be frozen, but please remember to do the following;
- Freeze it as soon as it is cold enough.
- Use a container or bag that is suitable for freezing.
Don’t forget to add a label with the dish name and date it was frozen!
How do I reheat these Sausage Rolls?
We find that these Sausage Rolls are best reheated in the oven, so they keep that crispy ‘pastry’ shell.
From chilled: Place on a baking tray with a piece of foil over the Sausage Roll to prevent burning. Place in a 200°C preheated oven for 5-10 minutes, until piping hot throughout.
From frozen: Allow to defrost, place on a baking tray with a piece of foil over the Sausage Roll to prevent burning. Place in a 200°C preheated oven for 5-10 minutes, until piping hot throughout.

RuthTuesday 13th March 2018
Should these be kept in the fridge to keep them fresh
Dave WebsterTuesday 27th February 2018
Change it to Turkey mince, use a shallot instead of onion and dried oregano instead of parsley. I think it tastes better than the pork.
JenWednesday 14th February 2018
Hi just wondering if I could use beef mince instead of pork?
karen biertonThursday 8th February 2018

I’ve just watched the video and put the sausages In only to realise the video doesn’t use sage, mustard powder or Worcestershire sauce. Will this matter ?
YasmineSunday 31st December 2017

TracieTuesday 28th November 2017
Hi there – I’m veggie … could I cheat and simply cook linda McCartney red onion and rosemary sausages and put two in a wrap ? Would that work ?
LynnSaturday 25th November 2017
Hi guys, could the sausage rolls be assembled say early in the day for a party later? Just worried they might make he wrap soggy whilst sitting in the fridge. Has anyone tried that yet?
Thanks for the recipe.
Lynn
GinaWednesday 22nd November 2017

Don’t do what I have done and add the one egg in with the ingredients, just add enough to bind the mixture together.
I have one sloppy mess. 🙁
