Air Fryer Hot Dogs

Air Fryer Hot Dogs Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 hot dogs
• 4 hot dog buns
• Optional toppings: mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, sauerkraut, cheese, etc.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Hot Dogs:
   • Make small slits or score the hot dogs diagonally with a knife. This helps them cook evenly and prevents them from bursting.
3. Air Fry the Hot Dogs:
   • Place the hot dogs in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
   • Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 5-6 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. This will give them a nice, evenly cooked and slightly crispy exterior.
4. Toast the Buns (Optional):
   • If you like your buns toasted, place them in the air fryer for the last 2 minutes of cooking the hot dogs. Arrange them open-faced in the basket, cut side up, for a light toasting.
5. Assemble the Hot Dogs:
   • Remove the hot dogs and buns from the air fryer.
   • Place each hot dog in a bun.
6. Add Toppings:
   • Top with your favorite condiments and toppings such as mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, sauerkraut, or cheese.

Tips:

• Adjust the cooking time slightly if you prefer your hot dogs more or less crispy.
• For a variation, you can wrap the hot dogs in bacon before air frying for an extra layer of flavor.
• Serve with classic sides like potato chips, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your quick and easy air fryer hot dogs!
