  • 4 hot dog buns, sliced (optional)

Instructions

    • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Cook the Hot Dogs

    • Place hot dogs in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

    • Cook for 4 minutes, flipping halfway through, until heated through and lightly browned.

  3. Warm the Buns (Optional)

    • Place hot dogs inside the buns.

    • Return to the air fryer and cook for 1–2 minutes at 400°F until buns are warm and lightly toasted.

  4. Serve

    • Remove and enjoy immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Skinny hot dogs (like standard beef franks) cook in about 4 minutes.

  • Thicker or jumbo hot dogs may take 6–8 minutes.

  • For lighter browning, cook at 380°F for 5 minutes.

  • To reheat leftovers, air fry at 350°F for 2–3 minutes.

  • Add toppings like mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, or chili after cooking.
