What goes into the recipe
- puff pastry- it's the most useful thing to ever have in your freezer! If you haven't got any, go and get some immediately. I like all butter puff, but there any many types. If you've got a pack and you want to use it all in one go, try these delicious ham and cheese scrolls too, or these raspberry tarts!
- corn- you can use fresh (about one ear), or be lazy like me and use the frozen corn- in which case you need about a cup. Either way, fresh or frozen pretty much tastes the same in these, so feel free to be lazy.
- zucchini- I love zucchini, it's got to be the most used vegetable on the blog! If you have a lot of them (hello end of summer!) then you might like to try these zucchini apple muffins.

Air fryer cooking
These work really well in the airfryer. I preheat mine to 200 degrees celsius or high and cook for 10-15 minutes. They actually turn out pretty much exactly the same. The only problem is I need to do them in 4 batches to get them all done, so it isn't really more efficient than the oven, where I can do them all on two trays in one go.
Expert Tips and FAQs
Make sure your oven is hot! Scrolls made with puff pastry need to bake at 200 degrees celsius or the pastry will be gluggy and they won't go golden!
In the fridge for 2-3 days. They will be fine and can be eaten cold or hot. I find they reheat well in the oven, or airfryer.
Like most of the lunchbox items on my blog, they are freezer friendly! Meaning you can always have them ready to go!
Sure! They also work well with just carrot and corn, or add peas.

I haven't made these yet, but looking forward to trying the recipe.
I was wondering if you freeze them, do you freeze before or after cooking? And the best way to defrost once frozen?

I literally bought a vegemite scroll yesterday from Coles and my daughter asked me can I make it and other types for her at home. I couldn't have stumbled across this delicious and simple recipe at a more opportune time - cheers!
