toppings of your choice (ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, and so on)
Instructions
Cut 4 to 5 diagonal shallow slits in the top of each hot dog, about 1 inch apart. Don't cut all the way through. The slits help the hot dogs cook more evenly, and they won't crack down the center.
4 hot dogs
Place the hot dogs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If needed, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the basket.
Air fry at 400°F for 5 to 7 minutes or until the hot dogs are heated through and lightly browned.
If desired, when hot dogs are cooked, place them in buns (buttered if you like) and cook for another minute to warm and lightly toast buns.

Storage & reheating: If you have extra cooked hot dogs, refrigerate them promptly; they'll keep for 3 to 4 days. The best way to reheat hot dogs is to briefly air fry them until they are heated through. They can also be microwaved. Wrap one or two in a paper towel and microwave in 30 second increments until the hot dog is warmed through.
