500g pork sausage meat
1 onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sage, dried
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Sesame seeds for topping (optional)

2 Instructions

Prepare the filling

Mix sausage meat with chopped onion, sage, pepper, and salt until well combined.

Assemble the rolls

Roll out the puff pastry and cut in half lengthwise. Shape the sausage mixture into two long logs and place each on a pastry half. Brush the edges with egg wash, then roll the pastry over and seal.

Cut and glaze

Cut each log into 4-5 equal pieces. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.

Air fry

Preheat air fryer to 190°C (375°F). Place sausage rolls in the basket seam-side down, leaving space between each. Cook for 10-12 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden.

Pro Tips

Chill the assembled but uncooked rolls in the freezer for 10 minutes. This prevents the pastry from tearing and helps it puff better.
Do not skip the egg wash; it is essential for that glossy, golden finish.
