    Air Fryer Sausage rolls are so easy to make! With only 4 ingredients these simple sausage rolls are delicious.

    Recipes like our Air Fryer Stuffed Jalapenos, Air Fryer Pita Chips and Air Fryer Tortilla Chips are quick and easy!

    Air Frying is usually faster, easier and less hard work than you could ever imagine!

    Why you will love this recipe

    This is party food that is quick, easy and delicious! Taking less time than ever to prepare the sausage rolls are flaky, buttery and will fly off the plate very quickly.

    How long do sausage rolls take in an Air Fryer?

    Raw sausage rolls like these will take 7-9 mins in the Air Fryer.

    Can I cook Frozen Sausage Rolls in an Air Fryer

    Frozen Sausage rolls will take 15- 20 mins in the Air Fryer.

    If you freeze these sausage rolls, it is best to cook them from frozen, ie not thaw and then cook.

    Ingredients for the recipe

    The ingredients needed for the recipe are all simple and easy to find at the local shops.

    They are set out in the photo below so you can see exactly what you need.

    Ingredients for Air Fryer Sausage Rolls with text labels

    As you can see, the recipe calls for:

    • sausages (beef, pork, chicken or vegetarian)
    • puff pastry
    • eggs
    • sesame seeds

    How to make the recipe

    We start by preparing our sausages.

    Air Fryer Sausage Rolls method 1 to 4
    • Remove casing from the sausages (Photo 1)
    • Place on thawed pastry (Photo 2)
    • Add egg to a small bowl (Photo 3)
    • Pierce with a fork and whisk (Photo 4)

    You only need 1 egg for approximately 12 sausage rolls.

    If using very small eggs, you may need 2.

    Air Fryer Sausage Rolls method 5 to 8 with text labels
    • Roll pastry around sausage (Photo 5)
    • Brush with egg (Photo 6)
    • Roll to close (Photo 7)
    • Use a knife to cut the excess pastry of the ends (Photo 8)

    You may find you brush the pastry twice as you roll and seal each long sausage.

    The sausage roll will likely bit a bit shorter than the length of the pastry, so cut the excess off where the sausage finishes.

    Air Fryer Sausage Rolls method 9 to 12 with text labels
    • Cut the excess pastry of each end (Photo 9)
    • Brush long sausage roll with egg (Photo 10)
    • Sprinkle with sesame seeds (Photo 11)
    • Cut into small sausage rolls (Photo 12)

    You will get 4 sausage rolls out of one standard length sausage.

    Air Fryer Sausage Rolls quick info:

    About the recipe:

    • You can use your favourite sausages
    • You can make this a vegetarian recipe
    • I use sesame seeds, you can also use dried herbs (on top)

    FAQs about the recipe

    1. My Air Fryer is a 7 litre basket version
    2. If you have a smaller Air Fryer you can work in batches
    3. I made 12 sausage rolls and cooked them in 2 batches
    4. It takes about 7-9 mins to cook (each batch)

    If appetizers are your favourite recipe to make, you might like to try our Crostini or if you don't have an Air Fryer, the oven baked Homemade Pita Chips recipes.

    2. This recipe uses only 4 ingredients
    3. Serve with your favourite sauce like tomato or BBQ!
    4. You can freeze these sausage rolls and cook from frozen

    Expert tips:

    This is what I have learnt that will help you master the recipe from the 1st time and every following time:

    • Working in batches ensures the sausage rolls have enough room to expand
    • You can pull the basket out by the handle to check the sausage rolls to see how they are cooking
    • There are so many sizes and types of Air Fryers that some will cook faster or slower depending on the model, the 1st time you make the sausage rolls, check them after 4 mins to see how they are cooking!

      Delicious and best for an evening snack or Tiffin option. Easy, quick and Air Fryer makes it healthier too.

      These are cutest and by far the easiest sausage rolls I've seen in a very long time. I can taste them from my laptop and did I say the air fryer officially rules!!

      I don’t really love sausages but honestly these look incredible with the sesame seeds. Although it probably won’t be as good as yours, I want to try it with hotdogs!
