Ingredients
- 4 hot dogs (your choice of beef, pork, chicken, or plant-based)
- 4 hot dog buns
- Optional toppings: mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, sauerkraut, cheese, or any other favorite toppings
Instructions
Start by preheating your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). This step ensures that your hot dogs will cook evenly and get that delightful crispiness on the outside.
While the air fryer is preheating, prepare your hot dogs. If you prefer them with a bit more texture and surface area for crisping, you can make shallow cuts diagonally across the hot dogs. This not only helps them cook more evenly but also gives them a unique look.
Once the air fryer is preheated, place the hot dogs in the air fryer basket. Make sure they're not touching, to allow the air to circulate freely around them for an even cook. Cook for about 5-7 minutes. If you like them extra crispy, you can add another minute or two but keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
