Crispy and golden fried pancake cannelloni stuffed with vegan cheese and vegan salami are a delicious addition to meals.
Pancake cannelloni are an extremely tasty dish that will impress you with the texture and combination of flavours! They’re not made with pasta like regular cannelloni, but with pancakes! Pancakes are then filled with vegan cheese, salami, spices, rolled and breaded. A crispy, golden-baked crust and soft center with vegan salami cheese that melts in your mouth will make you drool. You can eat them along baked or fried potatoes or as a main dish. They are also delicious when cold, so you can take them on the go, to work or school. These cannelloni really impressed our family, so we will definitely make them again soon! We are sure that they will become a staple in your kitchen as well.
We fried cannelloni in oil but you can also bake them in the oven or in an air fryer, as they also get a crispy crust, but are not as golden as dried ones. If you are going to bake them in the oven, heat it to 200 °C and bake for 20–30 minutes.
