Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces refrigerated Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
  • 13 ounces Lit'l Smokies Smoked Sausage
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • kosher salt to garnish

Instructions

  • Remove the crescent rolls from the tube and lay out on a lightly floured surface. Separate at the perforated lines for each crescent roll, then with a sharp knife or pizza cutter divide each crescent roll into three triangles.
  • Place the sausage at the wide end of the triangle and roll until you reach the end. Continue until you have finished using all your crescent roll triangles.
  • Place your pigs in a blanket in the air fryer basket. Air fryer baskets vary in size, so put as many as you can in your basket while leaving enough space for the crescent roll to expand.
  • Brush melted butter over each pig in a blanket, focusing on the crescent roll. Add a sprinkle of kosher salt to each pig in a blanket.
  • Cook at 375°F for about 8 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove and serve immediately while fresh. Serve with a dipping sauce such as ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch if desired.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the basket: Arrange the pigs in a blanket in a single layer with space between each one. This ensures they cook evenly and don’t stick together.
Check halfway through cooking: Every air fryer is a little different. Peek around the halfway mark to make sure they’re browning nicely and not overcooking.
Rotate if needed: If your air fryer cooks unevenly, gently flip or rotate them halfway through.
