Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 12-15 minutes
Total Time: 27-30 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 1 lb (450g) pork sausage meat
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Rolls:
- 1 package (about 10 ounces) puff pastry, thawed if frozen
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
For Serving:
- Ketchup or mustard (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Sausage Filling:
- In a bowl, mix together the pork sausage meat, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, dried sage, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Ensure the ingredients are well combined.
3. Roll out the Puff Pastry:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a rectangle shape, about 12×10 inches.
4. Add the Sausage Filling:
- Divide the sausage filling into two portions and shape each portion into a log shape. Place each log along the length of the puff pastry.
5. Roll and Seal:
- Roll the puff pastry over the sausage filling, sealing the edges. Pinch the seams to secure.
6. Cut into Rolls:
- Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled pastry into smaller sausage rolls, each about 2 inches long.
7. Brush with Egg Wash:
- Place the sausage rolls on a plate or tray. Brush the top of each roll with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when cooked.
8. Air Fry:
- Place the sausage rolls in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between them. You may need to cook in batches.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the sausage rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
9. Check for Doneness:
- Check for doneness by cutting into one roll; the sausage should be cooked through.
10. Serve:
- Serve the air fryer sausage rolls hot, optionally with ketchup or mustard for dipping.
Note:
- Feel free to add additional herbs or spices to the sausage filling for extra flavor.
- Ensure the puff pastry is well-sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
- Adjust the cooking time based on your air fryer model and the size of the sausage rolls.
