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 needed
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.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
In the photo above left, you can see what your sausage rolls will look like before you cook them.
In the photo on the right (and below), you will see what your sausage rolls will look like after you cook them.

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!

These sausage rolls look amazing, I would rather make these then buy the store bought any day. Easy, quick and fresh 🙂
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!
Thanks Lauren! I enjoyed reading your feedback, yes, what a great idea!
