Prepare cocktail sausages by chopping them if they are in a string, or cut regular sausages to about 1.5 inches in length.

Take a strip of smoked streaky bacon and flatten it with the edge of a knife, then cut it in half.

Roll each sausage in a strip of bacon, ensuring at least 1 inch of overlap for a good seal.

Season the wrapped sausages with salt (optional) and pepper.

Liberally sprinkle dried sage over the wrapped sausages.

Place the wrapped sausages in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

Spray the sausages lightly with cooking spray.

Cook in the air fryer at 200 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, drizzle runny honey over the sausages.

Cook for an additional 5 minutes, checking for doneness.

If necessary, cook for an additional 2 minutes to achieve desired crispiness of the bacon.
