Ingredients
Scale
Batter Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Other Ingredients
- 4 hot dogs (beef or turkey)
Instructions
- Prepare Hot Dogs: Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels to ensure the batter sticks well. Skewering the hot dogs is optional but can make handling easier.
- Make Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and grated cheddar cheese. Crack in the eggs and stir the mixture until you get a smooth batter without lumps.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Coat Hot Dogs: Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated. Shake off any excess batter so it doesn’t drip in the air fryer.
- Air Fry: Place the coated hot dogs in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate around them. Cook for 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Allow the corn dogs to cool slightly before serving. They pair wonderfully with your favorite dipping sauces such as mustard, ketchup, or a low-carb mayo dip.
Notes
- Using almond flour keeps this recipe keto-friendly by eliminating traditional high-carb cornmeal.
- Cheddar cheese adds flavor and helps bind the batter.
- Skewering hot dogs before battering can help keep the batter intact while air frying.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; check for golden color and crispiness.
- For an extra crispy exterior, you can spray the batter-coated hot dogs lightly with cooking oil before air frying.
