Equipment
Ingredients
- 24 mini sausage such as Little Smokies or cocktail franks (I use all beef variety)
- 1 package crescent rolls
- 2 Tablespoons butter, melted (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon Garnish: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or Everything Bagel Seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 4 minutes.
- Divide the crescent rolls into 8 pieces. Cut each crescent roll piece into thirds from the wide end to the smaller end. (see above for the how-tos)
- Place a mini sausage on the wider end of the crescent roll strip. Roll up from the wider end to the smaller end.
- Brush melted butter over the top of the crescent rolls then sprinkle with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning. (Optional step)
- Spray the air fryer basket with an oil cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Place the pigs in a blanket in the air fryer. Leave adequate spacing in between so they cook evenly. You will probably need to do them in batches so as not to overcrowd. (Note: If not using the butter & sesame seeds just spray the tops of the rolls with cooking spray.)
- Air fry at 350°F for 5-7 minutes. Check at 5 minutes to see if they are golden brown. If not, air fry for another minute or two.
