How To Make Frozen Pigs In A Blanket With An Air Fryer

  • STEP 1: You can fry the pigs straight from the freezer; there is no need to defrost them.
  • STEP 2: Preheat your air fryer to 355 degrees Fahrenheit before starting to cook.
  • STEP 3: Place the puff pastries into the air fryer, being sure to space them out so they each have room to expand.
  • STEP 4: Gently brush the tops of the pigs in a blanket with some melted butter.
  • STEP 5: Once your air fryer reaches the desired temperature, lightly brush the basket with some butter.

  • STEP 7: If necessary, cook in multiple batches for 4-6 minutes each.

Cooking Tips

  • Only preheat your air fryer when you have pig rolls out from the freezer and ready. If you preheat too early, the dough may go through since it needs to be hot for the dough to rise.
  • If you have parchment paper, you can line your air fryer with it.
  • Brushing pigs in a blanket with butter before cooking gives them a nice golden-brown color and makes them extra delicious.
  • If you want to achieve ideal cooking times, keep the size of your air fryer and the number of Pigs in a Blanket in mind. More specifically, it took me 6 minutes to cook when my basket was full and only 4 minutes when there were fewer Pigs in a Blanket.

Things to Watch Out For When Air Frying Frozen Pigs in a Blanket 

Here are some suggestions to follow when you make air fryer frozen pigs in a blanket so that they will come out perfectly!

  • Keep a close eye on the puff pastry near the end of its cooking time. It should be lightly browned and “puffed,” but if it’s a deep golden brown, that means it has been cooked for too long.
  • Depending on your air fryer model, the cooking time may be a bit different. If your air fryer can’t cook all of these pigs in blankets at once, do them in two batches so they have enough room to spread out.

Storage Tips

Pigs in a blanket are best enjoyed immediately after cooking, so only make as many as you will eat. If you have leftovers, seal them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge.

Your rolls will stay good for three days, but they won’t taste as great if you reheat them. Instead of using a microwave, which will make the rolls hot but also softer, we recommend using an air fryer.
