Equipment
- Air fryer
- Tongs or spatula for handling hot dogs
- Knife (for making shallow cuts on hot dogs, if desired)
Ingredients
- 4 Hot Dog Buns
- 4 Hot Dogs
Notes
- Preheat your air fryer: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your hot dogs cook evenly and develop a delicious crispy texture.
- Prepare the hot dogs: While the air fryer is preheating, take each hot dog and make a few shallow cuts on the surface. This will allow the hot dogs to cook more evenly and prevent them from bursting.
- Place the hot dogs in the air fryer: Once your air fryer has reached the desired temperature, carefully place the hot dogs in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other. The hot dog buns can be set aside for now.
- Cook the hot dogs: Close the air fryer and set the cooking time to 8-10 minutes. The exact cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model and the thickness of the hot dogs. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't overcook or burn. The hot dogs should be golden brown and heated through, with a slight crispiness on the outside.
- Warm the hot dog buns (optional): If you prefer warm buns, you can place them in the air fryer for the last 1-2 minutes of the cooking time. This will give them a nice toasty texture.
- Assemble and serve: Once the hot dogs are done, carefully remove them from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. Place each hot dog inside a bun and add your favorite toppings and condiments. Classic options include ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, and sauerkraut. Feel free to get creative and add your personal touch!
- Enjoy your Air Fryer Hot Dogs: Serve your hot dogs immediately while they are still warm and enjoy the delightful combination of juicy hot dogs and crispy buns. These are perfect for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or even a backyard barbecue. Serve with your favorite sides and beverages, and savor every delicious bite!
