Instructions
Preheat oven to 180C. line baking tray with baking/parchment paper.
In a small non-stick pan sauté onion in olive oil until translucent for 2 mins and set aside.
Drain the zucchini by squeezing it and leaving it to rest in a colander.
Place all filling ingredients except potatoes, carrots and zucchini in a food processor and process until they are finely chopped. Add flax egg, zucchini, carrots and blitz until finely chopped. Add potatoes until well combined. Note: you may want to combine potatoes and the chopped ingredients in a bowl if the food processor is not big enough.
Let the mixture rest in refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, lay out 3 sheets of puff pastry on a dry surface, cutting each in half lengthwise to create 6 rectangles.
Divide the mixture into 6 parts. Place each along the middle of each half of the pastry. Fold each edge lengthways in the middle and overlap a centimetre. Gently press the overlapped pastry with finger to seal.
Turn the filled pastry upside down to allow sealed part facing down on the work top.
Repeat for all 6 half pastry sheets.
Brush egg wash over each filled pastry and sprinkle poppy seeds over it.
Cut lengths into 6 small mini rolls.
Place on baking trays lined with baking paper and bake until golden and cooked through (25-30 minutes).
