Arrange the pigs in a blanket on the prepared tray or basket, leaving about an inch of space between them for proper air circulation. You may need to cook them in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Brush with butter mixture (if using)
  2. Cook. Bake at 325º F for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown and the Crescent roll has cooked and browned throughout. Different air fryers may have different cooking times.

Notes

  • To store leftovers. Cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To make ahead. Prep the pigs in a blanket without baking. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. Remove from the refrigerator as the oven preheats. Additional baking time may be needed since they have been refrigerated.
  • To freeze. Bake and cool the pigs in a blanket completely. Cover with plastic wrap and place the sheet pan filled with the pigs in a blanket in the freezer for 30 minutes for them to flash freeze. Transfer the individually frozen appetizers to a freezer-safe, airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. To serve, reheat in a 325º F oven for about 15 minutes until heated throughout.
  • Cheesy Pigs in a Blanket - Cut slices of your favorite cheese (cheddar, provolone, colby jack are all delicious!) to just smaller than the size of the cocktail sausages. Place the sliced cheese pieces onto the cut Crescent roll triangles, then add the cocktail sausage. Continue with the recipe as written.
