Ingredients

• 1 package puff pastry sheets
• 4 links vegetarian sausage
• 0.5 cup onion
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the vegetarian sausage links (pre-cooked and chopped) to the skillet. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper and black pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut into triangles or desired shapes for croissants.

Step 6

Place a tablespoon of the sausage mixture at the wider end of each triangle.

Step 7

Roll from the wide end to the tip of the triangle to form a crescent shape. Tuck the ends under slightly to secure.

Step 8

Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion.

Step 9

In a small bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 10

Brush the top of each croissant with the egg wash to achieve a golden-brown finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the croissants are puffed and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
