Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 large eggs
Main
- 4 hot dogs (beef or turkey)
Instructions
- Prepare the hot dogs: Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels to ensure the batter sticks well. Skewering the hot dogs on sticks is optional but can help with handling during battering and air frying.
- Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and grated cheddar cheese. Add the eggs and stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Preheat air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Coat the hot dogs: Dip each hot dog into the batter, fully coating it, then shake off any excess batter to prevent thick clumps forming during cooking.
- Air fry the corn dogs: Place the coated hot dogs in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Cool and serve: Remove the corn dogs from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving to avoid burns. Enjoy them with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauces.
Notes
- Using almond flour keeps this recipe keto-friendly by replacing traditional cornmeal flour.
- Ensure hot dogs are dry before dipping to help batter adhere better.
- Skewering is optional but can make the corn dogs easier to handle.
- Cook in a single layer for even browning and crispiness.
- Use a variety of dipping sauces such as sugar-free ketchup, mustard, or cheese sauce to enhance flavor.
