Air Fryer Frozen Pigs In A Blanket
Pigs in a blanket are a great party appetizer and even better when made in the air fryer. Make Air Fryer Frozen Pigs In A Blanket for a perfectly cooked snack that is golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside with the help of your air fryer or Ninja Foodi!
Pigs in a blanket are small sausages wrapped in pastry dough. They can be made with pre-made croissant dough, biscuit dough, or even crescent rolls. You can make them by hand or they can also be found in the frozen appetizer or snack section of your local grocery store. Popular brands include Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farms, and Pillsbury.
The best way to cook frozen pigs in a blanket is by using your air fryer. Air fryers cook food by circulating hot air around the food. This results in evenly cooked food that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
It also takes much less time than using the oven, so if you are short on time, air frying is the way to go!

👩🏻🍳Air Fryer Cooking Tips
- The best time and temperature to cook frozen pigs in a blanket depends on the size of the appetizer. Start with 10 minutes at 375F and add more or less time depending on how well they are cooked.
- The puff pastry will expand once cooked in the air fryer, so be sure to leave 1/2 inch space in between each piece.
- If you want extra crispy pigs in a blanket, brush them with a beaten egg before air frying.
- Pigs in a blanket are best served immediately. If you have any leftovers, you can reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes or in the oven at 350F until warmed through.
- Serve with dipping sauce: ketchup, mustard, honey mustard, ranch dressing, or BBQ sauce.
