INGREDIENTS
- 4-6 hot dogs
- 4-6 hot dog buns
- Melted butter or oil for brushing the buns optional
Toppings
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Relish

INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Cut a few slits into each hot dog. Do not cut too deep.
- Transfer the hot dogs into the air fryer basket in an even layer.
- Air fry for 4-6 minutes, or until it is cooked to your liking.
- Place each of the air fried hot dogs between buns and return them to the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do two batches.
- Lightly brush the tops of the buns with a little melted butter or oil, if desired.
- Air fry for 1-2 more minutes to get the buns warm and toasty.
- Transfer to a serving platter and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
NOTES
- Make sure to score the hot dogs by cutting small slits across. This will help it to heat more evenly, help prevent the casing from bursting or tearing, and also allows condiments to seep through the slits.
- You don’t have to grease or spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. The hot dogs do not stick to it. You can use a disposable liner for easier cleanup if desired.
- Use your favorite brand of hot dogs, brats, or links.
- Switch up the buns to your liking. Pretzel buns, Hawaiian buns, wheat buns, sourdough buns, or classic buns are all great options.
