When you feel your kids are tired and not really in the mood for a meat and 3 veg meal, these healthy thermomix sausage rolls are the perfect quick and healthy meal to whip up without fuss. I have replaced breadcrumbs with almond meal and arrowroot to slightly increase nutrition with the vegetables.
Dependent on time but if you have the luxury of making your own pastry then this is a far better and healthier option. If you don’t have a thermomix, then the same principles apply when using a food processor.
