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
Hot Dogs
- 4 hot dogs (beef or turkey)
Instructions
- Prepare the hot dogs: Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Skewering the hot dogs on sticks is optional but can make handling easier.
- Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and grated cheddar cheese. Crack in the eggs and stir thoroughly until you achieve a smooth batter consistency.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat to ensure even cooking.
- Coat the hot dogs: Dip each hot dog into the batter, coating thoroughly, and gently shake off any excess batter to avoid clumping.
- Cook in the air fryer: Arrange the coated hot dogs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the batter is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the corn dogs from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Pair with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauces for the perfect bite.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the hot dogs are dry before coating to help the batter adhere better.
- Using skewers makes dipping and eating easier but is optional.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with other hard cheeses, but it may alter flavor and texture.
- Cook times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
- Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
