Sausage Rolls | Slimming World Friendly
When it comes to Slimming World sausage rolls, most of the recipes out there involve using a wrap or a slice of bread instead of pastry.
I’m not adverse to getting a bit creative in an attempt to whip up meals that are a little lighter on the waistline, but let’s be real here…
Sometimes, only real pastry will do.
The good news is that it’s very possible to make a proper sausage roll without falling off track and throwing your diet out of the window.
These ones here have half the calories and Syns of many that you’d find in high street bakers, but they compromise nothing when it comes to taste and satisfaction.
Serve them for lunch with a side salad, or make a real meal of it by adding chips, veggies, and gravy.
Here’s everything you need to know about making super satisfying Slimming World sausage rolls…

How many Slimming World Syns are in this recipe?
Syns are trademarked by Slimming World, and values are only available to current paying members.
As such, I have decided to omit Syn values from my recipes moving forward.
Rest assured though, the recipes here will always be made to be as slimming friendly as possible.
Refer to the official Slimming World app to calculate the Syns, or speak with your consultant for further guidance and advice.

Important hints and tips
- Aldi’s Specially Selected Skinny Pork Sausages are a great option for this recipe, and amongst the very lightest that you’ll find in the supermarkets. They also taste really good, so you won’t feel like you’re depriving yourself!
- Don’t eat meat? No worries. You could easily substitute the meaty version for a veggie choice
- I used Jus-Rol light puff pastry, ready rolled. Most supermarkets will do their own version, just make sure that you double check any calorie or Syn values to protect your weight loss
- When working with pastry, use a cold surface and try not to handle it anymore than necessary, so you can avoid it turning into a sticky mess!
Love comfort food? Check out these ideas too…
If you love a sausage roll, then I’d hazard a guess that you’d also be keen on the idea of a Slimming World scotch egg.
These Marmite roast potatoes are my Sunday must-have, and they go perfectly with just about any kind of roast dinner. Dip them in gravy for a real treat!
Slimming World Sausage Rolls
Ingredients
- 3 low calorie sausages
- 70 grams light, ready rolled puff pastry
- 1 egg beaten
- Low calorie cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.
- In a bowl, remove the sausages from their skins and gently squash together with a fork, to form a ball of sausage meat.
- Make two equal sized rectangles from your puff pastry, and lay on a cold, flat surface.
- Place half of the sausage meat on one side of each pastry rectangle, and brush one edge with beaten egg. Gently fold both in half to form your sausage rolls, so the egg acts as a seal. Crimp the open edge with a folk, gently add some slits with your knife (don't cut all the way through the pastry) and brush with beaten egg.
- Spritz a baking tray with low calorie cooking spray (to prevent sticking), and place your sausage rolls on the tray. You might find it useful to use a pallet knife to do this.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until your sausage rolls are piping hot and golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy!
