Ingredients

  • 8 hot dogs (thinner is better)

Instructions

  • Remove the hot dogs from their package and pat them dry with a few paper towels.
  • Wrap each hot dog with a crescent roll triangle.
  • Place the wrapped hot dogs into your air fryer, making sure they have plenty of room around them to cook. You will most likely need to make two batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Cook at 350° F for 6-10 minutes. In my experience, every air fryer is so different so keep a close eye on them.
  • Pull them out of the air fryer when the dough is a deep golden brown and cooked through.
  • Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup or mustard!

Notes

  • Looking for healthy side dish ideas? Try a few raw veggies such as carrot sticks, sliced cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes. You can also never go wrong with a fresh fruit salad, apple slices, cheesy steamed broccoli, corn, tater tots, or anything else your kids will actually eat.
