Air Fryer Pigs in a Blanket

Cook Time 9 minutes
Pre-heat 5 minutes
Total Time 14 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • Cocktail sausages or mini hot dogs about 24 pieces
  • Refrigerated crescent roll dough 1–2 tubes, depending on size
  • Egg for egg wash; optional but recommended
  • Mustard yellow, Dijon, or honey mustard, for dipping
  • Ketchup optional, for dipping
  • Everything bagel seasoning sesame seeds, or poppy seeds (optional topping)
  • Cooking spray or a little oil for the air fryer basket

Instructions
 

  • Prep the air fryer: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) if your model requires it. Lightly oil the basket to prevent sticking.
  • Dry the sausages: Pat the cocktail sausages dry with a paper towel. This helps the dough cling and reduces steam.
  • Cut the dough: Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Cut each triangle into 2–3 long strips, depending on how thick you want the wrap.
  • Wrap: Place a sausage at one end of a strip and roll it up snugly. Leave a little gap at each end so the sausage can brown and release steam.
  • Egg wash: Beat the egg with 1 teaspoon of water. Brush lightly over the dough for a glossy, golden finish.
  • Season: Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, sesame, or poppy seeds if you like a little crunch and flavor.
  • Arrange in the basket: Place them seam-side down in a single layer. Do not overcrowd; they need space for airflow. Work in batches if necessary.
  • Air fry: Cook for 6–9 minutes, checking at minute 5. They’re done when the dough is deep golden and cooked through, and the sausages sizzle.
  • Flip if needed: If your air fryer browns unevenly, flip at minute 5 and continue until crisp.
  • Serve hot: Let them rest 1–2 minutes (they’re lava-hot inside), then serve with mustard and ketchup.
