For a classic all-American “diner night,” make air fryer baked hot dogs with a side of fries and a fun macaroni salad.

How To Cook Hot Dogs In The Air Fryer?
Air Fryer Hot Dogs with toasted buns are super easy and fun to make!

- Space hot dogs evenly in the air fryer basket and cook on high for 3-5 minutes.

PRO TIP: Cooking frozen hot dogs – cut a row of slits on the outside (so they don’t burst during cooking), and air fry for 7 to 8 minutes.
Hot Dog Toppings
While the dogs and buns are cooking, make a condiment platter with relish, chili, cheese, salsa, or sauerkraut. Don’t forget the ketchup, mustard, onions, and jalapenos! Yum!
