These delicious Easter Sausage Rolls made to look like carrots are so cute that they are sure to be a hit at your spring gatherings! And best of all, they are so easy to make!

All you need is store-bought pizza dough and a few sausages. Top the rolls with a yolk and smoked paprika eggwash to give them an orange tint. Once they are out of the oven, use parsley to garnish for the final touch. Your carrots are complete!

You can adapt this sausage roll recipe in many ways - you can fill them with any sausages you like or use ham and cheese, chocolate, or feta for tasty alternatives. You can even swap the pizza dough for puff pastry (though check the packet instructions for any difference in oven time).

Head to these lamb goat cheese bites, bunny crostini, or bunny burrata salad for other easy Easter appetizers. And if you'd like a sweet option, don't miss these fruit carrots.

1. Turn on your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2. Roll out the pizza dough and cut it into 12 equal-sized strips.

3. Divide the sausages into thirds.

4. Roll the strips into each sausage. Start rolling underneath the sausage to get the pointy triangular shape. Continue until you get to the top of the sausage.

5. Pinch the dough at the top of the sausage roll closed tightly.

6. Mix the egg yolk with a pinch of smoked paprika (save the egg white for an omelet or egg-fried rice).

7. Brush the sausage rolls with the smoked paprika egg wash and sprinkle with sea salt.

8. Bake the rolls in the hot oven for about 10 minutes (you want them golden brown).

9. Allow to cool slightly.

10. Stick a toothpick into the top of the sausage rolls and insert a sprig of parsley.

11. Attach candy eyes (with edible glue or cream cheese) or omit.

12. Serve with yellow mustard or any dip you prefer.
