👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set it to 190°C / 375°F for about 3 minutes.
- Prepare the hot dogs: Make 2–3 shallow diagonal cuts in each hot dog. This helps them heat evenly and gives the edges extra crispiness.
- Air-fry: Place the hot dogs in the basket in a single layer. Cook for 5–6 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Toast the buns: Place the buns in the air fryer with the hot dogs for the final 1–2 minutes. For extra crispiness, lightly brush the inside of the buns with oil or vegan butter first.
- Assemble: Place each hot dog in a toasted bun and add your favorite toppings.
