Description

Air Fryer Pretzel Dogs are perfect if you have ever wanted to know how to make a delicious, quick, and easy meal in your air fryer. This recipe is for you.

Ingredients 

Pretzel Cheese Dogs:

  • 6 hot dogs
  • 6 slices pre-cooked bacon
  • 4 cheddar cheese sticks or snack slices
  • 2 jalapenos
  • 1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoon sea salt flakes

Optional For Serving:

  • Queso Cheese dip

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  • Slice each hot dog lengthwise, careful not to cut through all the way. If desired, place a piece of cheddar cheese inside each hot dog and a slice of jalapeno.
  • Wrap each cheese-stuffed hot dog with a strip of pre-cooked bacon.
  • Roll out the Pillsbury Crescent Rolls dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into strips with a pizza cutter.
  • Wrap each bacon-wrapped hot dog with a piece of dough, starting at one end and working your way down, slightly overlapping the dough to encase the hot dog fully.
  • Brush the tops of the dough-wrapped hot dogs with the egg wash.
  • Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the top of each pretzel dog.
  • Place the pretzel dogs in the air fryer basket and leave enough room between them for even cooking.
  • Air fry the pretzel dogs at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until the dough is golden brown and cooked.
  • Once cooked, remove the pretzel dogs from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
  • Serve the air fryer pretzel dogs with queso cheese dip or your favorite dipping sauce on the side, and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, parchment-lined baking sheet

Notes

  • This recipe will work in various air fryers, including both the Air Fryer Basket and Oven Models. This recipe will also work in the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and Mealhty Lid. The recipe will remain the same, and the cooking time may vary.
  • Do not crowd the basket. Otherwise, they will not cook up properly or evenly. For best results, leave space around the Air Fryer Pretzel Cheese Dogs.
  • If you find that the Cresent Dough is sticking to the Air Fryer Basket, either spray the basket with cooking spray or use a piece of parchment paper.
  • Depending on what air fryer you own, you may need to flip them halfway during the cooking process.
