• Place 1–2 tbsp of the filling at the wide base of each triangle.

• Roll the triangle from the base to the tip, forming a mini croissant.

3. Bake

• Place the croissants on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

• Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for 10–12 minutes, until slightly crisp and golden at the edges. You can sprinkle them with poppy seeds before or after baking.

Notes

• You can vary the veggies. Beans, zucchini, or mushrooms work really well.

• To keep them oil-free, always use water or vegetable broth when sautéing.

• Optional: brush the outside with plant milk for extra color and shine.

• Adjust the spices according to your taste, for example, more chili for heat or paprika for smokiness.

• Calories may vary depending on the type of tortilla, vegan mince, and veggies you use.
