Ingredients
Scale
Hot Dogs
- 4 hot dog sausages
Buns
- 4 hot dog buns
Toppings
- Your favorite hot dog toppings such as ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for cooking hot dogs evenly.
- Arrange Hot Dogs: Place the hot dog sausages in the air fryer basket in a single layer so they cook uniformly without overlapping.
- Cook Hot Dogs: Cook the hot dogs in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes, remembering to flip them halfway through to achieve even browning and a crisp exterior.
- Toast Buns: While the hot dogs cook, lightly toast the hot dog buns either in a toaster or inside the air fryer for 1-2 minutes for a warm, slightly crispy texture.
- Remove and Assemble: Once cooked to the desired level of crispiness, remove the hot dogs from the air fryer. Place each sausage inside a toasted bun.
- Add Toppings: Add your favorite toppings such as ketchup, mustard, relish, or onions to complete your hot dog experience.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the hot dogs immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can adjust cooking times based on your preference for doneness and air fryer model.
- For extra flavor, consider scoring the sausages lightly before air frying.
- To keep buns warm longer, wrap them in foil after toasting.
- Feel free to experiment with toppings like cheese, sauerkraut, or chili.
- Use gluten-free buns if you require a gluten-free option.
