Total Time: 27-30 minutes
Servings: 6 sausage rolls
Intensity: Easy
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 6 pork sausage links, casings removed
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare Sausage Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pork sausage meat (casings removed) with breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble Sausage Rolls:
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 equal rectangles.
- Divide the sausage mixture into 6 portions and shape each portion into a log.
- Place a sausage log onto each puff pastry rectangle and roll the pastry around the sausage, sealing the edges with a little water or egg wash. Repeat for all rolls.
- Egg Wash and Topping:
- Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds over the top of each sausage roll, if desired.
- Air Fry Sausage Rolls:
- Place the assembled sausage rolls in the preheated air fryer basket, seam side down, in a single layer without overcrowding. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry the sausage rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy, and the sausage is cooked through.
- Serve Warm:
- Once cooked, remove the air-fried sausage rolls from the air fryer basket and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the warm sausage rolls as a delightful appetizer or snack.
Note: Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size of your sausage rolls and your air fryer model. Adjust cooking time as needed for desired crispiness.
Enjoy your homemade air fryer sausage rolls, packed with savory flavors and crispy pastry!
