Ingredients
1 package hot dogs
4 hot dog buns
Optional olive oil spray
Toppings of choice: mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, jalapeños, shredded cheese
Instructions
1. Lightly score each hot dog with diagonal slits to prevent bursting and add texture.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
3. Place the hot dogs in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
4. Cook for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway through.
5. During the final 1–2 minutes, place the buns in the basket to toast (optional).
6. Assemble the hot dogs in buns and top with your favorite condiments.
7. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Score the hot dogs gently to avoid splitting and to help them crisp up evenly.
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure a uniform crisp on each hot dog.
If using frozen hot dogs, add 2 extra minutes and flip once during cooking.
