Ingredients
Scale
- 4 classic beef or pork hot dogs
- Cooking spray or a light mist of vegetable or olive oil
- Optional toppings: mustard, ketchup, relish, chopped onions, sauerkraut
- Optional hot dog buns
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it heat for 3 minutes.
- Lightly spray each hot dog with cooking spray or brush a thin layer of oil all over.
- Place the hot dogs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 4 minutes until the skin starts to blister slightly.
- Using tongs, flip the hot dogs over carefully.
- Continue cooking for another 4 minutes until the skins turn golden brown with charred spots.
- If desired, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness, being careful not to dry them out.

Notes
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Flip hot dogs halfway through cooking for best results. Use a light coating of oil to achieve crispy skin. Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving to keep the charred texture intact.
