Description

Air Fryer Cocktail Franks are bite-size savory treats that can be enjoyed as party appetizers or snacks alongside your favorite sauces, condiments, and other delicious finger foods!

Ingredients 

  • 16 ounces cocktail franks

Instructions

  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
  • Prepare the Franks: If using puff pastry, you can wrap each cocktail frank with a strip of puff pastry. This adds an extra layer of flavor and texture. Alternatively, you can skip this step and air fry the franks directly.
  • Brush with Oil (Optional): Lightly brush the wrapped or unwrapped cocktail franks with a bit of cooking oil. This helps enhance the crispy texture during air frying.
  • Air Fry the Cocktail Franks: Place the franks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches. Make sure there's some space between the franks for proper air circulation.
  • Cooking Time: Air fry the cocktail franks for about 5-7 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Check for Doneness: The franks should be cooked through and have a nice crispy exterior. You can cut one open to check if they're heated all the way through.
  • Serve: Once cooked, remove the cocktail franks from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. You can serve them on their own or with your favorite dipping sauces.
  • Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious air-fried cocktail franks as a snack, appetizer, or party food!
