INGREDIENTS
- 3 sausages. I used Trader Joe’s fully cooked Spicy Chicken Sausage with Jalapenos and red peppers.
- 4 sheets of puff pastry to roll the sausage
- Spray oil
- Better than Bagel seasoning, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
-
- Thaw the puff pastry sheets.
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
- Place the sausage in the middle of the puff pastry sheet.
- Roll out the puff pastry to form a rectangle.
- Place the sausage meat onto the pastry.
- Roll up the pastry from one side, enclosing the sausage inside.
- Cut the roll into individual sausage rolls. I cut the sausage into 3 equal parts, approximately 2 inches long.
- Using a knife, gently cut a few slits in the puff pastry.
- Place the sausage rolls directly onto air fryer basket (or tray).
- Lightly spray each sausage roll with oil. I’m using Ghee butter oil spray.
- Cook in a preheated air fryer until golden brown and crisp. About 8 minutes, flipping halfway.
NOTES
Can raw sausage meat be used with sausage rolls?
Absolutely! First, think about the type of sausage you want to use. If you’re looking for a traditional flavor, go for pork sausage. For something a little different, try a lamb or beef sausage. You can also mix and match different types of meat to create your own unique sausage roll recipe. Once you’ve decided on the type of sausage, it’s time to choose the add-ins. Popular choices include onions, garlic, herbs, and spices. For an extra kick, add some diced apples and onions.
Sausage rolls cooking time with the raw sausage meat
The ideal cooking temperature for raw sausage meat is 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 °C). This temperature will ensure that the sausage is cooked all the way through, without any risk of bacteria growth. To check the internal temperature of the sausage, insert a food thermometer into the center of the meat through the sausage roll. If the sausage is not yet at 160 degrees, continue cooking it until it reaches the correct temperature. The approximate cooking time in the air fryer is 5-6 minutes per side.
