Air-fryer sausage rolls

“Using Woolies sizzlers means no additional seasoning is necessary. This quick recipe can be made even more convenient by rolling and freezing the sausage rolls, ready to air-fry when you need your next fix.”

1. Trim the pastry to fit inside the air- fryer basket, then place the pieces on a work surface. Working with 1 piece of pastry at a time, place a sausage at the short end of the pastry closest to you – if the sausage is too long, trim it to fit.

2. Spread 1 T onion marmalade onto the sausage. Carefully roll the pastry over the sausage and marmalade, taking care not to press out the marmalade. Trim the pastry using a knife and pinch the seam closed.

3. Repeat the process with the remaining pastry, sausages and marmalade.

4. Preheat the air-fryer to 200°C and cook the sausage rolls for 20 minutes. If you need to cook the underside, carefully turn the rolls out onto a platter and return to the air-fryer basket, bottom side facing up, then cook for a further 5 minutes or until golden.

5. Allow to cool slightly before pulling apart and serving) with the dhania chutney and boerewors sprinkle.

Cook's note: Most air-fryers come with removable baskets, which you can pre-load while it preheats. Preheating is important when baking – cooking these sausage rolls in an air-fryer that hasn’t been preheated will cause the butter to release from the pastry instead of making it puff.
