Ingredients
Scale
For the Hot Dogs:
- 4 hot dogs (all-beef recommended)
- 4 hot dog buns (brioche for extra flavor)
- 1 tbsp butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Toppings (Optional):
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Relish
- Diced onions
- Shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 390°F and let it preheat for about 2 minutes. This helps the hot dogs cook evenly.
- Prep the Hot Dogs: Place the hot dogs in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. If you want that classic grilled look, make a few small slits on each hot dog before cooking.
- Air Fry the Hot Dogs: Cook for 5–6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. The hot dogs should be lightly crispy on the outside and juicy inside.
- Toast the Buns: For the last 1–2 minutes, place the buns in the air fryer to warm up. If you like buttery buns, lightly brush them with melted butter before toasting.
- Serve & Enjoy: Load up your hot dogs with your favorite toppings and enjoy them hot and fresh!
Notes
- Crispier Hot Dogs? Cook for an extra 1–2 minutes.
- Want a smoky flavor? Add a little smoked paprika or BBQ seasoning before air frying.
- Making more? Cook in batches so the air can circulate properly.
- Cheesy Hot Dogs? Sprinkle shredded cheese over the hot dogs in the last minute of cooking.
