It’s incredibly easy recipe needs only two ingredients – leftover chilli con carne and puff pastry. These two things go really well together and create super delicious pasties!
I love using up leftovers to cook easy but tasty food. I enjoy the feeling of not wasting food but creating something new for the next day dinner. So when I had a good amount of chilli con carne left from the previous dinner, making pasties with it next day comes into my mind straightaway.

How to make the Vegan Pasties with Leftover Chilli
- Get your leftover chilli and a sheet of puff pastry ready and preheat the oven to 200°C! Roll out the pastry on a floured table and cut some circle shapes. I used a cereal bowl to mark circles and trace with a knife to cut. Put the cut out circles on the side and get the excess pieces together, roll out and cut more circle shapes. Repeat until you have no more pastry dough left.
- Put about 2 tbsp of the chilli on half side of a pastry then fold over the other half to cover the chilli filling. Press the edge with a folk to seal the opening. Repeat the step to make 6 more pasties! You can make 3 or 4 bigger pasties instead of making 7 small pasties if you prefer.
- Place the pasties on a baking tray lined with baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until top is slightly golden.
We had these pasties with some salsa sauce, which was really nice. But the pasties taste delicious without any sauce as well!
Vegan Pasties with Leftover Chilli

Ingredients
- leftover vegan chilli con carne enough amount to fill the pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry (375g)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (gas mark6) or the temperature suggested on your pastry package. Prepare a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Roll out the pastry sheet on a floured table and cut out circle shapes. I used a cereal bowl to mark circle shapes and trace with a knife to cut. You may have to get the pastry dough together again after cutting some circles and repeat the step until you have no more dough left.
- Put some leftover chilli (about 2 tbsp) on half side of the pastry then fold over the other side to cover the chilli filling. Now you have a semi-circle shaped pasty. Press the edge down with a folk to seal and prick some holes on top. Put on the prepared baking tray.
- Repeat the step for 6 more pasties. You can make 3 or 4 pasties if you make them bigger. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until slightly golden on top.
