Sometimes there just isn’t time to fire up the grill or broiler–this basic Air Fryer hot dogs recipe is so much easier!

Not only is it healthier to cook in an Air Fryer, it also takes less time and effort until you are biting into a crispy hot dog, and toasty bun, topped with mustard, relish, ketchup, and all of your favorites!

You won’t believe how easy it is to cook hot dogs in an Air Fryer!

How To Make Air Fryer Hot Dogs

This is literally the easiest way to make hot dogs! Remember boiled hot dogs? {yuck!} This is NOT that. Air fryer hot dogs come out perfectly!

You don’t have to worry about prepping the grill (which is especially annoying if you are only making one or two hot dogs) or worry about one falling through the slats into the grill, either, when cooked in an Air Fryer!

I also love that you can toast your hot dog buns in the air fryer! It’s way easier than toasting them on the grill (I usually burn them that way).

This Air Fryer Hot Dogs Recipe:

• Serves: 4
• Prep Time: 2 minutes
• Cook Time: 5-6 minutes

All you need to make Air Fryer hot dogs is an Air Fryer, hot dogs, and buns! That’s it!

Ingredients:

• Hot Dogs
• Buns

Toppings

• Ketchup
• Mustard
• Pickle Relish 
• BBQ Sauce
• Cheese 

Instructions:

Step 1

Preheat Air Fryer to 375 degrees F.

Be sure to cut slits into your hot dogs so they don’t burst!

Step 2

Score the top of each hot dog to prevent them from bursting.

Spread your hot dogs out in the basket of your Air Fryer.

Step 3

Place in Air Fryer basket.

You will be amazed by how crispy and perfect hot dogs turn out, after being cooked in an Air Fryer!

Step 4

Cook for 5-6 minutes, shaking half way through to cook evenly.

Now for the best part–topping your Air Fryer hot dogs! Nothing beats a fully loaded hot dog with onions, relish, mustard, and ketchup!

Step 5

Optional – remove hot dogs from basket and add to buns and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

You can even cook frozen hot dogs in an Air Fryer!

Can I Cook Frozen Hot Dogs In The Air Fryer?

Yes! It might take a minute or two longer, but they will cook. I would recommend at least microwaving them for about 30 seconds to defrost a little, first.
