• Sausages: Any small sausage will do, but cocktail sausages or mini smokies are ideal. You can also use cut-up regular hot dogs or sausages if that's what you have on hand.
• Vegetarian: There are many great vegetarian sausages available that you can use as a substitute. Just ensure they're pre-cooked or that they will cook through in the air fryer's heat.
• Puff Pastry: Crescent roll dough or even homemade pastry dough are great alternatives if you don't have puff pastry. Each option provides a slightly different texture and flavor.
• Cutting the Pastry: Use a pizza cutter for easier and more uniform cutting of the puff pastry.
• Avoid Overcrowding: Cook in batches if necessary to ensure all sides of the pigs in a blanket crisp up nicely.
• Seasonings: Sprinkle some bagel seasoning or your favorite spices onto the pastry before rolling for added flavor.
• Watch Carefully: Cooking times may vary slightly based on the air fryer model, so keep an eye on your first batch to determine the best timing.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

• Cool Down: Allow the pigs in a blanket to cool completely before storing. 
• Refrigerate: Place the leftovers in an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap. They'll stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: If you want to keep them longer, freeze the pigs in a blanket on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.
• Reheating: Reheat them in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for about 3-5 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again. No need to thaw if frozen; just add a couple more minutes to the reheating time.
