Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (390°F) or set your air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
Take your cocktail or chipolata sausages and wrap each tightly with a strip of thin-cut streaky bacon. Place a fresh sage leaf atop each wrapped sausage.
Drizzle them generously with maple syrup and sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the top.
Place your baking tray into the preheated oven or the air fryer basket. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the bacon is crispy and sausages are cooked through.
Let them cool for a moment before transferring to a serving platter. Serve warm, ideally drizzled with extra maple syrup for dipping.
