Vegan Pigs-In-A-Blanket

These vegan pigs-in-a-blanket are warm, savory, and crisp around the edges but much lighter than the classic version. Instead of puff pastry, high-protein tortillas wrap around vegan sausages to create a simple, satisfying snack or meal-prep option.

They’re quick to make, easy to portion, and perfect with mustard, ketchup, or a creamy dipping sauce. Baking them keeps the outside golden without needing extra oil, while the tortilla gives each bite a soft-crisp texture that feels comforting and satisfying.

Notes & Variations

• For a version that works better for sensitive digestion, choose vegan sausages without onion, garlic, inulin, or other ingredients that may be difficult to tolerate.
• If your tortillas are large, make smaller bite-sized rolls by cutting each sausage into thirds instead of halves.
• For extra crispiness, prepare them in an air fryer at 190°C (375°F) for 5-10 minutes.
• Add a thin slice of plant-based cheese before rolling for a richer, more indulgent version.
• These are best served fresh, but they can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to bring back their crisp texture.
