Ingredients

Scale

Hot Dogs

  • 4 hot dogs (your choice)

Buns and Condiments

  • 4 hot dog buns
  • Cooking spray (optional)
  • Condiments such as ketchup, mustard, relish, and sauerkraut

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking the hot dogs evenly and quickly.
  2. Prepare Hot Dogs: Cut small slits into each hot dog to allow steam to escape while cooking, which prevents bursting and helps cook them more evenly.
  3. Arrange in Basket: Place the hot dogs evenly spaced in the air fryer basket. If using lower fat hot dogs, optionally spray them lightly with cooking spray to help crisp the exterior.
  4. Cook Hot Dogs: Air fry the hot dogs for 6 to 7 minutes until they reach your preferred level of doneness, with a slightly crispy outer skin.
  5. Add Buns (Optional): Place each cooked hot dog into a bun and return them to the air fryer. Cook for about 1 minute to lightly toast the buns; denser buns like sausage rolls may require an additional minute.
  6. Serve with Toppings: Finish by topping your hot dogs with your favorite condiments such as ketchup, mustard, relish, or sauerkraut, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Slitting the hot dogs prevents them from bursting during cooking.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the air fryer brand and model.
  • Use cooking spray if you want a crisper exterior, especially with lower fat hot dogs.
  • Toast buns for added texture and warmth, but skip this step if you prefer softer buns.
  • Customize with any toppings you like for a personalized hot dog experience.
