Air Fryer Sausage Tarts

The crispy, flaky puff pastry contrasts beautifully with the savoury sausage filling, while the sweet, caramelised red onion adds an extra layer of flavour that takes these tarts to the next level.

Step 1

First, take the pastry out of the fridge an hour before you’re ready to use it. Allowing the pastry to reach room temperature makes it much easier to work with, especially if it’s cold from the fridge. I tend to use store-bought puff pastry because it’s convenient and saves me a lot of time without compromising on taste. While the pastry is resting, I get started on preparing the filling.

Step 2

I begin by cutting the sausages lengthwise and squeezing the sausage meat out of the casings. I place the sausage meat into a bowl, making sure it’s broken up and ready to use.

Step 3

Once the pastry has reached room temperature, I roll it out slightly if needed and then cut out small circles. To ensure they are uniform in size, I use a small bowl as a guide. Then, I carefully place each pastry circle into the compartments of my silicone mould, which helps keep the pastry neat and allows for even cooking.

Step 4

Next, I slice a red onion and place a small amount of it into the bottom of each pastry cup. The red onion adds a lovely sweetness to contrast with the richness of the sausage. I then spoon about a teaspoon of the sausage mixture into each mould and flatten it slightly to make sure it cooks evenly.

Step 5

Before cooking, I brush the sides of the pastry with an egg wash to give them a golden, glossy finish. Then, I place the silicone moulds into the air fryer and set the temperature to 180°C, cooking for about 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
