Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the grated carrot, chopped bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until veggies are soft.

Step 5

Add soy sauce, tomato paste, ground cumin, and smoked paprika to the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Mix in the cooked lentils, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh parsley into the cooled mixture.

Step 8

Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Divide the vegetable mixture into two portions.

Step 9

Spread each portion onto one half of a puff pastry sheet, leaving a border around the edges.

Step 10

Roll the pastry over the filling, sealing the edges with a bit of water.

Step 11

Cut each roll into four equal segments and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

Brush the tops with milk or plant-based milk for browning.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 14

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
