Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

    • 1 cup mixed vegetables, finely chopped (carrots, bell peppers, corn, green beans, peas)

    • ½ cup grated cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix)

    • 1 small onion, finely chopped

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 tbsp olive oil

    • ½ tsp cumin seeds (optional)

    • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)

    • Salt and pepper, to taste

    • Fresh coriander or parsley, chopped (optional)

For the Rolls:

    • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed if frozen

    • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash) or use milk for a vegetarian option

    • Flour, for dusting

Optional Add-Ins:

    • Paneer or tofu crumbles for added protein

    • A spoonful of mashed potato for a creamy texture

    • Italian seasoning or Indian spice blend for variety

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Veggie Filling

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds (if using), then sauté the onion and garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the chopped mixed vegetables, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Cook for 5–6 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but not mushy. Turn off the heat and stir in the grated cheese and fresh herbs.

Let the mixture cool completely before assembling the rolls.

Step 2: Prep the Puff Pastry

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth any creases. Cut into equal rectangles—each about 4×6 inches, or your preferred size for individual rolls.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

Place a generous spoonful of the cooled veggie-cheese filling near one end of each pastry rectangle. Roll tightly, tucking the edges to seal, and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray.

Score the tops gently with a knife and brush each roll with beaten egg or milk for a golden finish.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the rolls for 18–22 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving—they’ll be hot and delicious inside!

Notes

✅ Cool the Filling First – Hot filling can make the pastry soggy and hard to work with.
✅ Don’t Overfill – It’s tempting, but too much filling will cause the pastry to burst or leak.
✅ Use Firm Veggies – Avoid watery vegetables like zucchini unless cooked and drained well.
