    Review: Field Roast breakfast sausage

    Field Roast breakfast sausage is a protein-dense vegan side dish for a tofu scramble or potato hash. Prepare them with just a quick sizzle in a pan.

    I’ve been a big fan of Field Roast sausages for years.

    I especially enjoy their apple sage sausages on the grill in the summertime. They’re great with a hearty helping of sauerkraut and thick layer of stone-ground mustard.

    And I can’t tell you how many weekends I’ve wished we were still within a five minute drive to Tony’s Darts Away. That’s where they serve up beer, house-made potato chips, and Field Roast sausages, cooked on a separate vegan-only grill. They come with all kinds of interesting toppings like roasted garlic and mango melon salsa.

    So when I heard that Field Roast had come out with a new breakfast sausage, I was eager to try it.

    When I was at Whole Foods last week, I found the breakfast sausages in the refrigerated case next to the other Field Roast sausages, burgers, roasts, and frankfurters. (The celebration roast is great in a vegan banh mi. The frankfurters are perfect for vegan chili dogs!)

    The mini sausages come 12 to a pack. It’s a sweet little size that reminded me of the toy groceries I had in my play kitchen as a child.

    Like the other Field Roast sausages, the ingredients are similar to the kind of things I use when making vegan sausages at home, except I didn’t have to make them. I make loads of things from scratch – seitan included – but sometimes it’s nice to let someone else do the work.  

    Cooking them simply involves adding a little oil to a pan. Then give them a brief sauté until browned, being careful not to overcook.

    Since the breakfast sausages have the flavor of apple and maple, they were similar in taste to the apple sage sausages that are a favorite, but with the added faint sweetness of maple syrup.

    They are slightly more delicate in texture than their toothsome, full-sized sausages. They have a lovely smoky sweet flavor.

    The first time I made them, I had them as part of a hodgepodge breakfast with a chickpea scramble topped with avocado and cilantro, eggy tofu, and roasted breakfast potatoes.

    They’re also a nice side dish with breakfast tacos.

    Have you tried the breakfast sausages from Field Roast?  If so, what did you think?

    FYI:  I was not compensated for this review, and I paid for the sausages myself.  All of the opinions are totally my own.

      I haven’t seen these yet, but my local grocery store almost doubled the size of their vegan section, so hopefully I can get some soon!

        Double the size? That’s awesome! I hope you get a lot of good stuff. One of our grocery stores is expanding its health market, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they’ll get some cool new things too.

        Luckily you’re not far from the Whole Foods where I purchased this package. You could make it happen! 🙂

      How is this for timing? I had these this morning for the first time. A short time later, your post is in my inbox! They were really good – just like all the Field Roast products.

        How funny! We’re in synch! 🙂 I’m glad to hear that you liked them too. You’re right, Field Roast makes consistently good products.

        Their stuff is always so good! Now I just have to wait until their burgers appear in stores in July. I’m super excited about that one!

          Remember when eating vegan was so much work? I love that we can still eat well without having to cook every single thing from scratch for every single meal.

      Oh, oh, oh. Field Roast. Don’t you love their products? I can’t get the breakfast sausages where I live, so I use the Apple Sage links or go to Houston or Austin.
      Can’t wait to try this breakfast.

      Thanks for your nice comments at DearPete, which I will approve as soon as I can get to my dashboard.

        Yes, you can always count on Field Roast for top notch products! The breakfast sausages only just started popping up in stores. Maybe they will get to your grocery store eventually. My regular grocery store doesn’t have them yet either, but they have everything else in Field Roast’s line and so I’m hopeful!

      I just saw these in my WF yesterday for the first time, and they look so yummy! I’m definitely thinking about giving them a try. Field Roast makes some really quality stuff so I’m sure I won’t be disappointed. And for some reason your picture with them sitting next to breakfast potatoes has started me thinking of hash…

        They would definitely be delicious in hash! There are so many possibilities. The size would be really cute for mini hot dogs as a party appetizer or for vegan pigs in a blanket. Of course, I just kept eating them straight up with breakfast, and now my package is gone. 🙁 I don’t know when my local grocery store will have these, and so it may be a while until I can try out those ideas!

      I’ve really been missing decent store bought breakfast sausage. I was a Gimme Lean fiend for years until the ingredient list started to freak me out. And they weren’t even links! I had to form patties which is great for some things, but not so great for others. The fact that Field Roast is making these now makes me extreeeeemely happy!

        Yes, I love their simple ingredient list. It’s all the same kind of stuff I’d use to make seitan at home. I’m sure you’ll enjoy them, Hannah!

        Yes, they’ve done such a good job of making products that are consistently good. I can’t wait to try their burgers when they come out in July! Everyone who tried them at the Expo raved about them.
