Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 sheets Vegan phyllo dough
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Carrot, grated
- 1 Zucchini, grated
- 1 cup Cooked chickpeas, mashed
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Plant-based milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the grated carrot and zucchini and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the mashed chickpeas, tomato paste, ground cumin, ground paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the chopped parsley. Let the filling cool slightly.
Lay one sheet of vegan phyllo dough on a clean, flat surface. Brush lightly with olive oil, then place another sheet of phyllo dough on top.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the short edge of the phyllo sheet, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Fold in the sides of the phyllo dough, then roll it up tightly to form a log. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling to make 10 rolls.
Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with plant-based milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and crispy.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a snack, appetizer, or with a side of vegan yogurt or dipping sauce of your choice.
