Sweet Potato and Black Bean Veggie Rolls

A delicious veggie alternative to the classic sausage roll, filled with a wholesome sweet potato, courgette and black bean filling. The black beans give the rolls a hearty substance- and you can add extras like feta if you want to make them a little more unusual.

Ingredients

  • 1 tin of black beans (drained)

  • 3 small sweet potatoes

  • 1/2 a courgette (grated)

  • 1 small red onion (finely chopped)

  6. Add the drained black beans and cook the mixture for a good 10 minutes until its well combined

  7. Stir in the fresh parsley

  8. Once its cooked, leave it to cool on the side for a while whilst you prepare the pastry

  9. Lay the sheet out onto a floured surface and cut down the middle length ways

  10. Add the mixture all the way down the middle and glaze the sides in the whisked egg

  11. Add a generous amount of cheese and season again

  12. Roll up and brush in more egg, slice into pieces. Sprinkle in the sesame seeds.
