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.
Pigs-in-a-Blanket
⏱️ Time & Prep
Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 15–20 minutes
Total time: ~25 minutes
Yield: 8 mini pigs-in-a-blanket
Ingredients
- 2 high-protein tortillas
- 4 vegan sausages, cut in half
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk, for brushing
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried chives
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: sesame seeds or poppy seeds for topping
Optional dipping sauce:
- mustard
- ketchup
- plant-based yogurt mixed with lemon juice and chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Cut each vegan sausage in half to create 8 smaller pieces.
- Cut each tortilla into 4 triangles or strips, depending on the size and shape of your tortillas.
- Spread a thin layer of mustard onto each tortilla piece.
- Place one sausage piece at the wider end of each tortilla strip and roll it tightly.
- Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking tray.
- Brush the tops lightly with almond milk, then sprinkle with smoked paprika, dried chives, salt, pepper, and optional sesame or poppy seeds.
- Bake for 10–15 minutes, until the tortillas are lightly golden and crisp around the edges.
- Let them cool for 3–5 minutes before serving.
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.
