Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
• 8 oz (225g) sausage meat or ground pork
• 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp dried thyme or sage
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tbsp sesame or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)

How To Make Air Fryer Sausage Rolls

1. Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (185°C).
2. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine sausage meat, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs. Mix well.
3. Assemble: Roll out the puff pastry sheet. Spoon the sausage mixture down the center. Fold the pastry over the filling and seal the edge with a fork.
4. Cut: Slice into 6–8 rolls. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired.
5. Air fry: Place rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve: Let cool slightly, then enjoy warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dip!

You Must Know

• Use store-bought sausage for convenience or make your own flavorful mix.

Topping Variations

• Sweet & Savory: Brush with honey mustard glaze before cooking.
• Spicy Sausage Rolls: Mix chili flakes or sriracha into the sausage filling.
• Herb Crust: Sprinkle dried parsley, oregano, or rosemary on top before air frying.
