1. Preparation of the Sausage and Biscuit Dough:

Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F. This ensures the roll-ups will start cooking at the right temperature for that perfect crispiness.

Take the Jimmy Dean Sausage and divide it into small, bite-sized pieces. This size ensures they cook through evenly.

Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit with your hands or a rolling pin, making enough space to add the sausage.

2. Filling and Rolling:

Place a piece of sausage (and a slice of cheese if you’re using it) on each flattened biscuit.

Roll the biscuit around the sausage, making sure the ends are pinched together so the filling stays securely inside.

3. Seasoning:

If you’re opting for an egg wash, lightly beat an egg and brush it over the biscuit roll-ups. This gives them a beautiful golden color.

For seasoning, you can keep it simple with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Or, for a bit more flavor, mix in some garlic powder or paprika with the salt and pepper and sprinkle it over the roll-ups.

4. Arranging in the Air Fryer:

Spray the air fryer basket with a little cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Place the roll-ups in the basket, making sure they’re not touching. This is crucial for ensuring the hot air circulates properly around each roll-up, giving you that even cooking and crispiness.

5. Cooking:

Cook at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes. The exact time might vary depending on your air fryer model, so it’s a good idea to check them at the 8-minute mark.

The roll-ups are done when they’re golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.

6. Serving:

Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. They’re great on their own or with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
