Ingredients
Scale
For the 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 Ingredient
- 4 hot dogs (beef or turkey)
Instructions
- Prepare hot dogs: Pat the hot dogs dry using a paper towel to remove any moisture. Optionally, skewer each hot dog to make dipping and handling easier.
- Make the batter: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and grated cheddar cheese. Crack in the eggs and mix everything thoroughly until you have a smooth, thick batter.
- Preheat air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the corn dogs.
- Coat hot dogs: Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess batter to prevent clumps.
- Cook in air fryer: Place the battered hot dogs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the batter turns golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Let the corn dogs cool for a couple of minutes before serving. They are perfect with your favorite dipping sauces like mustard, ketchup, or sugar-free options.
Notes
- Using almond flour makes this recipe keto-friendly and gluten-free.
- Grated cheddar cheese adds flavor and helps the batter stick to the hot dogs.
- Skewering the hot dogs is optional but helps with dipping and eating.
- Make sure your air fryer basket isn’t overcrowded to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Can substitute turkey hot dogs for a leaner option.
