Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 2–3 minutes.
2. Cook the Hot Dogs
Place the hot dogs in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each.
Air fry for 4–5 minutes, turning halfway through if desired, until they’re heated through and lightly blistered.
3. Toast the Buns
Place each hot dog inside a bun. Lightly butter the buns if desired.
Return them to the air fryer and cook for 1–2 minutes until the buns are warm and slightly crispy.
4. Add Toppings
Top with your favorite condiments and toppings.
Serve immediately with fries, potato chips, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.
💡 Tips
- Slice shallow diagonal cuts in the hot dogs before cooking for extra crispy edges.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket.
- Add cheese during the last minute if making cheesy hot dogs.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and hot dog size.
