Ingredients

8 small sausages
2 sheets chilled puff pastry
barbecue sauce to taste
1 egg

Instructions

Slice 2 sheets of chilled puff pastry. Cut each sheet into 4 pieces to create a total of 8 pastry pieces.
Note: The puff pastry should be slightly wider than the sausages for easy sealing of the edges.
Using a silicone pastry brush, lightly coat each piece of pastry with barbecue sauce, ensuring not to spread the sauce all the way to the edges. This will allow for proper sealing when wrapping the sausages.
Wrap each sausage snugly in a piece of pastry, sealing the edges by pinching them together to secure the pastry around the sausage.
In a small bowl, beat one egg using a fork. Place the sausage rolls into the air fryer basket, and brush them with the beaten egg to achieve a beautiful and crispy golden-brown crust.
Set the air fryer (I’m using the Instant Vortex Plus XL) to 360ºF (180ºC) and cook the sausage rolls for approximately 20 minutes. At the 15-minute mark, give them another coat of the beaten egg for extra crispiness.
After about 20 minutes, your sausage rolls should be ready with a golden-brown color.
Serve while hot and enjoy!

Recipe Variations and Substitutions

Proper Storage Tips

Allow the sausage rolls to cool completely before storing.
