The Best Way To Cook Air Fryer Hot Dogs

Preheat the Air Fryer Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the hot dogs cook evenly and quickly.

Choose Your Hot Dogs Pick your favorite type of hot dog, whether it's beef, turkey, or veggie. Any variety will work well in the air fryer.

Prepare the Hot Dogs While the air fryer preheats, slit the hot dogs with a knife in a few spots. This prevents them from bursting during cooking.

Place in the Air Fryer Basket Arrange the hot dogs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they’re not crowded to allow for even cooking.

Set Cooking Time Cook the hot dogs at 400°F (200°C) for about 5-7 minutes, depending on your preferred level of crispiness.

Check for Desired Crispness After 5 minutes, check to see if the hot dogs are browned to your liking. If you want them crispier, cook for an additional minute or two.

Toast the Buns (Optional) Toasting buns in the air fryer is easy. Place your buns in the basket, cut side up, and cook for 2-3 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

Add Toppings Once your hot dogs are cooked and buns are toasted, add your favorite toppings—mustard, ketchup, onions, or cheese.
