Instructions

1. Step 1: Thaw 1 frozen puff pastry sheet at room temperature for 20 minutes while preparing the filling.
2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic, sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
3. Step 3: Add 1 lb ground beef and 1/2 cup grated carrot to the skillet, breaking up the meat with a spatula. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through, seasoning with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Step 4: Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to smooth creases, then cut into 6 equal rectangles.
5. Step 5: Spoon the beef and veggie mixture evenly onto the center of each pastry rectangle. Beat 1 large egg and brush the edges of the pastry with it.
6. Step 6: Fold the pastry over the filling to form a roll, pressing edges to seal tightly. Brush tops with remaining beaten egg.
7. Step 7: Place rolls seam side down in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning carefully, until golden and puffed. Serve warm.
