Detailed Directions and Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer
Begin by preheating your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for approximately 5 minutes.
Prepare the Ingredients
Take the crescent roll dough and unroll it. Cut the dough into triangles along the pre-scored lines. Make sure to have your cocktail sausages ready.
Assemble the Pigs in a Blanket
Place one cocktail sausage at the wide end of each triangle of dough. Roll the dough around the sausage towards the point, ensuring that the sausage is fully wrapped.
Place in the Air Fryer Basket
Arrange the assembled pigs in a blanket in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure to leave some space between each one for proper air circulation.
Air Fry the Pigs in a Blanket
Cook the pigs in a blanket in the air fryer at 380°F (193°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Check periodically to ensure they do not overcook.
Serve
Once cooked, carefully remove the pigs in a blanket from the air fryer. Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes
Cooking Time
Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your air fryer and the thickness of the dough. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of cooking.
Variations
Feel free to use different types of sausages or dough, such as puff pastry, for unique flavors.
Dipping Sauces
These pigs in a blanket are delicious on their own, but they can also be served with various dipping sauces like mustard, ketchup, or BBQ sauce.
Storage
Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer to restore crispiness.
