These Air Fryer Sausage Rolls are the ultimate quick snack — golden puff pastry wrapped around juicy, seasoned sausage filling. They’re crisp on the outside, tender inside, and taste like they came straight from a bakery! Perfect for breakfast, parties, or a cozy afternoon bite.
Ingredients
For the rolls:
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 8 oz (225 g) sausage meat or pork sausage (remove casing if needed)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: sesame seeds or poppy seeds for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine sausage meat, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 2: Shape the Rolls
Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
Cut it in half lengthwise to make two long rectangles.
Spoon the sausage mixture down the center of each rectangle, shaping it into a log.
Fold the pastry over the filling and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
Step 3: Slice and Brush
Cut each roll into smaller pieces (about 2–3 inches each).
Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.
Step 4: Air Fry
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
Place rolls in a single layer in the basket (don’t overcrowd).
Air fry for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add shredded cheddar cheese inside before rolling.
- You can use chicken or turkey sausage for a lighter version.
- Freeze unbaked rolls and cook straight from frozen — just add 3–4 extra minutes.
