Vegan sausage rolls with sweet potato, pecans, and maple syrup - a flavorful meat-free twist!
Ingredients:
  • 750g sweet potato, peeled, cut into 5cm pieces
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 star anise
  • 40.00 ml tamari, plus extra, to serve
  • 35g (1/2 cup) fresh breadcrumbs
  • 70g (1/2 cup) pecans, finely chopped, plus extra chopped pecans, to serve
  • 82.50 ml chopped fresh coriander
  • 27.00 gm maple syrup
  • 12 sheets filo pastry
  • Olive oil spray
Instructions:
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweet potato with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave on High for 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain any excess water and return the sweet potatoes to the bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth. Let it cool before using.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and star anise until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tamari and cook until almost absorbed, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the star anise and mix into the sweet potato.
  • Combine breadcrumbs, pecans, coriander, and maple syrup with the sweet potato mixture. Season to taste and mix until well combined.
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan forced, then line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Brush half of a filo sheet with oil and fold it in half crossways. Spoon 1/4 cup of the sweet potato mixture onto one end of the folded filo sheet. Brush the filo with a bit of oil. Fold in the sides and roll up the filo to seal the filling inside. Place the roll on the tray with the seam side down. Repeat this process with the remaining filo sheets, oil, and filling to create 12 rolls. Brush the rolls with oil, sprinkle with chopped pecans, and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Serve with additional tamari on the side.
