Ingredients

  • Olive oil spray (optional for extra crispness)

  • Dipping sauces like mustard, ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 3–4 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Corn Dogs

Remove any packaging. Keep the corn dogs frozen until cooking.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

• Cook at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through

• Check at 8 minutes—the cornbread coating should be golden and crispy, and the veggie dog hot

Step 4: Cool Slightly & Serve

Let cool for 1–2 minutes before eating—the filling will be very hot.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Flip Halfway for Even Crisping

Turning halfway ensures an even, golden brown crust all around.

Light Oil Spray for Extra Crunch

Optional, but a quick mist of oil helps achieve a deeper golden color and a crispier texture.

Cook in a Single Layer

Don’t overcrowd—space allows for better air circulation and even crisping.

Eat Fresh for the Best Taste and Texture

Freshly air-fried corn dogs have the best crunch and flavor.
