These are chicken sausage rolls with a proper curry flavour and a decent serve of vegetables hidden inside, since grated carrot and zucchini disappear into the filling where nobody can argue with them. The food processor does the mixing if you want it to, and puff pastry does the rest.
They cook in the air fryer or the oven, whichever suits your kitchen, and the recipe makes 24, which is lunchbox and party territory. The curry is a gentle backgrounder rather than a burner, so they work for kids.
Why You’ll Love It
Chicken mince keeps them lighter and cheaper than the usual pork rolls, and the grated carrot and zucchini keep the filling moist and get vegetables in without anyone noticing. One batch makes 24, they go in lunchboxes, and having both air fryer and oven directions means the recipe fits your kitchen rather than the other way round. The Greek yoghurt brush is a handy trick when there’s no spare egg in the house.
Handy Tips
Squeeze the grated zucchini in your hands before it goes in, since less water in the filling means crisper pastry underneath. Don’t overfill the rolls, as a neat line of filling seals better and cooks through evenly, and leave a little space between them in the air fryer basket or on the tray so the pastry browns all over. If the tops are pale near the end, a couple of extra minutes fixes them.
What To Serve With It
Tomato sauce is the classic, and a mango chutney or sweet chilli plays nicely with the curry. For dinner rather than a snack, a simple salad alongside turns a plate of them into a meal, and cut small they hold their own on a party table.
How to Store It
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat them in the air fryer or oven so the pastry crisps back up. They’re a good lunchbox item the next day too.

FAQs
Are these sausage rolls spicy?
No, the curry powder brings flavour rather than heat at 2 tablespoons across 24 rolls. If your crew likes it hotter, a hot curry powder is the simplest way up.
Can I use beef or pork mince instead of chicken?
Yes, the filling works the same way with either. Chicken keeps them lighter, which is part of why these suit lunchboxes, but the curry flavour carries any mince.
Air fryer or oven, which is better for sausage rolls?
Both are written into the recipe. The air fryer is faster at 180°C for 20 minutes; the oven does the full two trays at once at 200°C fan-forced for 30 minutes. Golden pastry is the finish line either way.
How do I stop sausage rolls going soggy on the bottom?
Squeeze the water out of the grated zucchini before mixing, and reheat leftovers in the air fryer or oven rather than the microwave. Wet filling and steam are the two usual culprits.
I just made these and found the mixture to be like baby food , but yum , I never put them in my wizzer normally grate and chop so will do this next time but loved cooking in air fryer
