Air Fryer Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs
- Cook Time: 16 minutes
- Total Time: 16 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian (option mentioned)
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 standard-sized hot dogs
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard or ketchup (for the eyes)
- Optional: Candy eyeballs or small pieces of cheese
- Cooking spray (non-stick)
Instructions
- Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a clean cutting board or a piece of parchment paper. Press the seams together to create one large rectangle. Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the dough into long, thin strips about 1/4 inch wide. These will be your mummy’s bandages.
- Take one hot dog and pat it dry with a paper towel; this helps the dough stick better. Wrap one or two strips of dough around the hot dog to look like bandages. Make sure to leave a small gap near the top of the hot dog for the “face” where the eyes will go. Repeat this for all 8 hot dogs.
- Set your air fryer to 340°F (170°C). Let it preheat for about 2 to 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the dough doesn’t stick to the bottom during the cooking process.
- Place the wrapped hot dogs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they are not touching so the air can circulate freely. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the dough is light golden brown and cooked through. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.
- Remove the hot dogs carefully from the air fryer. Allow them to cool for a minute. Use a toothpick to place two small dots of mustard or ketchup in the gap you left earlier to create the eyes. Alternatively, you can use a tiny dab of mustard to stick on candy eyeballs for a more cartoonish look. Serve immediately while warm.
