Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 beef or pork hot dogs
Bread:
- 4 hot dog buns
Condiments and Toppings:
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon relish
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 1/4 cup sauerkraut
Instructions
- Power up the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) and let it warm for 3-5 minutes, creating the perfect heat environment for crispy hot dogs.
- Carefully arrange the hot dogs inside the fryer basket, considering whether you prefer them whole or sliced lengthwise for enhanced texture and browning.
- Slide the basket into the air fryer and cook at 390°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes, gently rotating the hot dogs midway to guarantee uniform caramelization and prevent uneven heating.
- For enthusiasts of toasted bread, introduce the buns into the fryer during the final two minutes of cooking, allowing them to develop a delightful golden crunch.
- Extract the sizzling hot dogs from the air fryer, nestle them into their warm buns, and embellish with an array of preferred condiments like mustard, ketchup, relish, or sauerkraut to elevate the culinary experience.
Notes
- Slice hot dogs lengthwise for extra crispiness and better heat distribution, creating more delectable caramelized edges.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to guarantee even cooking and prevent steaming instead of air frying.
- Select high-quality hot dogs with natural casings for a superior snap and richer flavor profile when air frying.
- For gluten-free options, use gluten-free hot dog buns or wrap in lettuce leaves for a low-carb alternative.
