Equipment

Ingredients

16 ounces (4 links) sausage*
2 8- count tubes crescent rolls
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

Cut each sausage in half lengthwise and crosswise creating 4 pieces per link (16 total).
16 ounces (4 links) sausage*
Unroll all of the crescents. Place one of the crescent triangle on a plate or cutting board.
2 8- count tubes crescent rolls
Place the sausage on the widest side.
Roll the sausage towards the narrow end of the triangle. (See photos above.)
Tuck the ends of the crescent roll in. Repeat with the remaining sausages.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, mustard, and everything bagel seasoning.
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard, 1 Tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
Place a piece of parchment paper in your air fryer basket. Place about 6 or so rolls on the parchment paper so they are not touching. Brush generously with the glaze.
Air fry at 310 degrees for 10-12 minutes, checking them after about 8 minutes. Flip if the tops are getting too brown.

Notes

Sausage: I prefer to use a spicy smoked sausage, like jalapeño cheddar, for this recipe because it pairs well with the brown sugar to create a sweet and spicy sausage roll. However, you can use any kind of sausage you prefer for this air fryer pigs in a blanket recipe.
Every air fryer cooks differently, so be sure to check the pigs in a blanket. Like most air fryer recipes, the pigs in a blanket air fryer time will vary depending on your appliance. Check them around the six-minute mark and see if they need additional time. When ready, the crescent rolls should be golden brown and fully cooked (not doughy).
Use flavorful sausage. Since this air fryer pigs in a blanket recipe is so simple, it's important to use flavorful sausage to provide a bold taste. You can use any sausage flavor, from spicy to sweet, with this recipe.
Don’t skip the glaze. Besides the sausage, the glaze adds quite a bit of flavor to this dish. Skipping the glaze means you’ll be missing out on the spicy, sweet, buttery taste.
