To prepare Plant Pioneers Pups in Blankets, preheat your oven according to the package instructions. Arrange the frozen pups on a baking sheet, ensuring they have a little space between them for even cooking. Bake for the recommended time, usually until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown, and the plant-based sausages are heated through. Serve them warm for the best texture and flavor. They are often enjoyed with ketchup, mustard, or other dipping sauces.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional pigs in a blanket made with pork or beef sausages, these use plant-based alternatives. The pastry dough is also typically formulated without dairy or eggs, making them suitable for a vegan diet. The flavor profile aims to mimic the original, offering a savory and slightly smoky taste.

How to keep the rest
After baking, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in the oven or a toaster oven to restore crispness. Unbaked frozen pups should be kept in the freezer until ready to cook.
