How You’ll Make These Air Fryer Sausage Roll-Ups
Let’s get started! Here’s how to make these delicious, crispy roll-ups from start to finish:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes.
Slice each sausage link into quarters (lengthwise, then crosswise for 4 small pieces per link).
Roll out the crescent dough and cut into smaller triangles if needed.
Place a sausage piece at the wider end of each crescent triangle, roll it up, and pinch the edges to seal. Place seam side down.
Brush the tops with vegan mayo (for vegan version) or regular mayo (for meat version).
Spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil spray and place sausage rolls in a single layer.
7. Air fry at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve with ketchup and mustard. Enjoy!
Jazz's Substitutions & Tips:
Want a little extra flavor? Add some garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the crescent roll dough before rolling up the sausages. It’ll take the flavor to the next level!
No air fryer? You can bake these in the oven at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy.
Dairy-free? Use plant-based mayo and sausages for a fully vegan snack.
FAQs

Oh, absolutely! You can prep these roll-ups in advance and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours before air frying. Simply assemble the mini sausage rolls, lay them out on a baking tray, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. When you’re ready to cook, just pop them in the air fryer straight from the fridge—but you might need to add a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.
-
While crescent rolls are the perfect match for this recipe, feel free to get creative! Puff pastry or mini wraps will work just as well. Just a heads-up—if you use puff pastry, you might want to adjust the cooking time slightly, as it tends to cook faster.
-
Oh, totally! Swap out the mini sausage links for your favorite type of sausage—whether it's turkey sausage, pork sausage, or even ready-made sausages. For our vegan friends, plant-based sausage links are an excellent alternative. If you’re using sausage meat instead of links, make sure it’s well-seasoned and forms a nice, easy-to-wrap shape.
-
No worries at all! You can bake these beauties in a conventional oven at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy. They’ll be just as delicious, but you may need to give them a little more time in the oven than you would in the air fryer.
-
Yes, you sure can! Just assemble the roll-ups, place them on a baking tray in a single layer, and freeze until firm. Once they’re frozen, pop them into a freezer-safe container or bag. When you're ready to enjoy, cook them straight from frozen in the air fryer at 375°F for 12-15 minutes—just like magic!
-
These roll-ups are a great way to impress your guests and perfect for pairing with a variety of dips! Ketchup and mustard are always a hit, but why not take it up a notch with ranch dressing, BBQ sauce, or even a spicy sriracha mayo for some extra kick? The possibilities are endless!
