Golden puff pastry wrapped sausage rolls shaped into adorable pumpkins using simple string technique, creating festive savory Halloween finger foods perfect for parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb high-quality pork sausage (80% lean)
  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Cotton kitchen string (food-safe)
  • Fresh chives or pretzel sticks for stems
  • Paprika (optional)

 

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Thaw puff pastry in refrigerator overnight and preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Remove sausage from casings and mix with garlic powder, sage, and pepper.
  • Roll pastry sheets and cut each into 4 equal strips.
  • Divide sausage into 8 equal portions and roll into logs.
  • Place sausage on pastry strips, brush edges with egg wash, and roll to seal.
  • Tie cotton string around each roll at evenly spaced intervals to create segments.
  • Brush rolls with egg wash and bake 25-28 minutes until golden brown.

 

  • Remove strings while hot and insert chive stems at tops.

Notes

  • Use food-safe cotton string only – synthetic string will melt
  • Tie string firmly but not too tight to avoid cutting through pastry
  • Remove strings immediately after baking while rolls are still hot
  • Insert stems while rolls are warm for easiest placement
  • Reheat in oven to maintain crispy pastry texture

 

  • Can freeze unbaked rolls up to 1 month – bake from frozen adding 5-7 minutes
