Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water to create a flax egg. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic, grated carrot, and chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and any moisture from the mushrooms has evaporated.
In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils, rolled oats, sautéed vegetables, flax egg, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and salt-free vegetable stock powder. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and holds together but still has some texture. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Roll out the vegan puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and cut it into two equal rectangles.
Divide the lentil mixture into two even portions. Shape each portion into a log and place it along the center of each pastry rectangle.
Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, sealing the seam by pressing gently. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into four equal pieces. Brush the tops of the rolls with plant-based milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
Allow the sausage rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
