Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 all beef hot dogs
  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 2 tbsp spreadable butter or margarine
  • Optional: Your favorite toppings (ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, cheese)
  • Optional: Pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning
  • Optional: A sprinkle of paprika for color

Method
 

  1. Poke each hot dog several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  2. Place the hot dogs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
  3. Air fry the hot dogs at 375°F (190°C) for 7 minutes, until they start to brown.
  4. While the hot dogs cook, lightly butter the insides of the hot dog buns.
  5. Carefully place the hot dogs inside the buttered buns and arrange them back in the air fryer basket.
  6. Fry the hot dogs in the buns at 350°F (175°C) for 1 minute, just to warm the buns.
  7. Serve the hot dogs immediately with your favorite toppings and enjoy the perfect crunch!

Notes

– For extra crispiness, lightly score the hot dogs in a criss-cross pattern before air frying.
– Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even crisping.
– Toast the buns even more by placing them cut-side down for the last 30 seconds of cooking.
