Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s endlessly customizable and quick to prepare. The combo of gooey cheese and spiced vegetables wrapped in golden pastry makes these rolls irresistible. I can bake them ahead, freeze extras, and enjoy them any time. Plus, they’re baked—not fried—so they’re lighter but still satisfy that comfort food craving.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Puff pastry sheets or crescent roll dough
Mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, bell peppers—fresh or frozen)
Onion (finely chopped)
Garlic (minced)
Olive oil or butter
Shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Salt
Black pepper
Dried oregano or Italian seasoning
Optional: red chili flakes or paprika for heat
Egg (for egg wash)

Directions

I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet, I sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until soft and fragrant.
I add the mixed vegetables, season with salt, pepper, and herbs, and cook until tender. I let the mixture cool slightly.
I stir in shredded cheese so it melts a bit into the veggies.
I roll out the puff pastry and cut it into rectangles. I spoon the veggie-cheese mixture onto one end and roll it up like a burrito, tucking in the sides.
I place the rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with a little extra seasoning or sesame seeds.
I bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
I let them cool slightly before serving—they’re best warm and melty inside.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes about 6–8 rolls, depending on the size of the pastry pieces. It takes about 15 minutes to prep and 20–25 minutes to bake, so I can have them ready in under 45 minutes.

Variations

I add cooked spinach or kale to boost the greens.
Crumbled paneer or feta adds a nice salty bite.
Using pizza dough gives them more of a bread-roll texture.
For a spicy version, I add chopped jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.

Storage/Reheating

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. I reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 10–12 minutes or in the air fryer for a crispier finish. They also freeze well—just wrap individually, freeze, and bake from frozen until hot and golden.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! I assemble them and refrigerate until ready to bake. They hold up well for a few hours, making them great for prepping ahead.

Can I use filo dough?

Yes, I’ve used filo sheets for a lighter, crispier texture. I brush each sheet with butter, layer a few, then roll them the same way.

What cheese works best?

Mozzarella melts beautifully, but I’ve also used cheddar, pepper jack, or a cheese blend for more flavor.

Are these freezer-friendly?

Absolutely. I freeze them unbaked or baked—both work. Just bake longer from frozen or thaw before reheating.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes, using a gluten-free pastry or dough works well. Just keep an eye on the bake time since textures may vary slightly.

Conclusion

Cheesy baked vegetable rolls are a go-to in my kitchen when I want something cozy, flavorful, and easy. They’re versatile enough for any meal and tasty enough to please picky eaters and veggie lovers alike. Whether I’m serving them as a snack, side dish, or light meal, they never stick around for long.
