Air Fryer Sausage Crescent Cheese Balls Recipe

Ingredients

1

lb bulk spicy sausage

2

cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (8 oz)

1/2

teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crushed

1

                        can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count) 

2

tablespoons all-purpose flour

Preparation

Cut three 8-inch rounds of cooking parchment paper. Place one round in bottom of air fryer basket. Spray with cooking spray.

In large bowl, mix sausage, cheese and rosemary; mix well using hands or spoon.

Unroll crescent dough on work surface; coat each side of dough with 1 tablespoon of the flour. Using pizza cutter or knife, cut dough into about 1/4-inch pieces. Mix crescent dough pieces into bowl of sausage mixture in small amounts until well blended.

Shape mixture into 42 (1 1/4-inch) balls. Place 14 of the sausage balls on parchment in air fryer basket. Refrigerate remaining balls until ready to bake.

Set air fryer to 400°F; cook 6 minutes. Remove basket from fryer; use tongs to carefully turn sausage balls over. Cook 3 to 6 minutes longer or until browned (at least 165°F) and dough is cooked through in centers.

Cover cooked sausage balls with foil to keep warm while baking remaining sausage balls. Repeat two times for remaining sausage balls and parchment paper rounds.
