Air Fryer Hot dogs Mar 14, 2024 by Cindy Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Air Fryer Hot dogs get that fresh-from-the-ballpark taste in only 5 minutes! Finding a Healthy Option Choose franks that are nitrate-free and contain lower levels of sodium and saturated fat. Consider buying local or regionally made brands of hot dogs. Every area has its own favorite hot dog brand. Buy veggie dogs! Beyond Meat offers plant-based veggie dogs and you can also buy tofurkey dogs if you prefer. What You'll Need Your favorite hot dogs! How to Make Them Place your hot dogs on a plate, and score them on top with a knife or fork. These vents will prevent the hot dogs from bursting open while they cook by allowing trapped air to escape during cooking. Place the hotdogs in the bottom of your air fryer basket. Air fry your hotdogs for 4-5 minutes at 390°F/195°C. Serve! Bonus: How to Toast Hot Dog Buns After the hot dogs are cooked in the air fryer, remove them to a plate and cover with foil to keep them warm. Add split hot dog buns (either classic or New England style) to the air fryer basket, and cook at the same temperature (390°F/195°C) for 2-4 minutes, or until they are toasted to your liking. If you are not toasting the buns right after cooking the hot dogs, be sure to let the air fryer preheat for 3-5 minutes before starting. A tip for toasting bread in the air fryer: It has a tendency to fly around! Use a trivet to hold the hot dog rolls down. how to Serve Classic hot dogs: Serve with ketchup, mustard, and relish. Add a side of air fryer french fries for a classic diner combo. Cheese Dogs: Add melty American cheese, cheddar cheese, or nacho cheese sauce. Add Air Fryer Bacon: You'll thank me later!! Make Coney dogs! Serve with your favorite coney sauce, chopped onions, and shredded cheese. Chicago Style hot dogs: Put your hot dogs on a poppyseed bun and top with mustard, relish, onions, tomato, pickles, peppers, and a bit of celery salt. Make Reuben dogs: Serve hot dogs topped with shredded swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and a side of thousand island dressing for dipping.
