Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry sheets (thawed if frozen)
- 6–8 sausages (pork, chicken, or beef – pre-cooked works best)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Flour for dusting (to roll puff pastry)
Optional extras
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda)
- Sesame or poppy seeds (for topping)
- Mustard, ketchup, or dipping sauce
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Puff Pastry
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry. Cut into rectangles large enough to wrap around each sausage.
Step 2: Wrap the Sausages
Place a sausage in the center of each rectangle. Add cheese if you like. Roll the pastry tightly around the sausage and press to seal the edges.
Step 3: Brush with Egg Wash
Place the rolls seam-side down. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a shiny golden finish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Step 4: Air Fry the Sausage Rolls
Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (185°C). Arrange the sausage rolls in a single layer inside the basket (don’t overcrowd). Air fry for 10–12 minutes, or until puff pastry is golden and crispy.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Remove carefully, let cool for a couple of minutes, and serve warm with mustard, ketchup, or your favorite dip.
Storage Tips
- Fridge: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes.
- Freezer: Freeze uncooked rolls and cook directly from frozen, adding 3–4 minutes to cooking time.
Variations
- Cheesy Rolls – Add shredded cheese inside before rolling.
- Mini Party Rolls – Cut sausages and pastry into bite-size pieces.
- Spicy Kick – Use spicy sausages or brush with hot sauce before rolling.
Tips & Tricks
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer – cook in batches for best results.
- Keep puff pastry cold until use; warm pastry won’t puff as well.
- Pre-cooked sausages ensure the pastry cooks evenly.
Notes
- You can use any sausage you like: pork, chicken, turkey, or vegetarian options.
- These make a great quick lunch, appetizer, or even breakfast on-the-go.
