Description

This easy air fryer hot dogs recipe delivers perfectly cooked hot dogs with a crispy exterior and juicy interior in just minutes. Using an air fryer makes cooking quick, low-fat, and mess-free, while also giving the buns a warm, slightly toasted finish. Customize your dogs with classic toppings like ketchup, mustard, relish, or sauerkraut for a deliciously simple meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Hot Dogs

  • 4 hot dogs (your choice)

Buns

  • 4 hot dog buns

Additional

  • Cooking spray (optional, for lower fat hot dogs)
  • Condiments: ketchup, mustard, relish, sauerkraut (optional toppings)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat fully before cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
  2. Prepare the hot dogs: Cut small slits in each hot dog to allow steam to escape during cooking, which helps prevent them from bursting and ensures even cooking.
  3. Arrange hot dogs in the air fryer: Place the hot dogs evenly spaced in the air fryer basket. For lower fat hot dogs, optionally spray them lightly with cooking spray to enhance browning.
  4. Cook the hot dogs: Air fry for 6 to 7 minutes, checking occasionally until they reach your desired level of doneness and have a lightly crisped exterior.
  5. Toast the buns (optional): Place the hot dogs into the buns and return them to the air fryer. Cook for about 1 minute to warm and lightly toast the buns; denser buns like sausage rolls may require slightly longer.
  6. Add toppings and serve: Remove the hot dogs from the air fryer, top with your favorite condiments such as ketchup, mustard, relish, or sauerkraut, and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Cutting slits in the hot dogs helps prevent them from bursting inside the air fryer.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your specific air fryer model and the thickness of the hot dogs.
  • If preferred, you can skip the cooking spray to reduce fat, but it can help achieve a nicely browned exterior.
  • Toast the buns separately if you want them extra crispy or prefer not to warm with the hot dogs inside.
  • Customize toppings based on your preference; consider adding cheese, onions, or chili for variety.
