Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of crescent roll dough (8 oz)
- 1 package of mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages (about 24 pieces)
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (optional, cheddar or mozzarella recommended)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon of water (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon of dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
- Cooking spray (for greasing the air fryer basket)
Instructions
- Open the package of crescent roll dough carefully.
- Unroll the dough onto a clean, flat surface, revealing the pre-cut triangles. If using non-pre-cut dough, cut into triangles approximately 4 inches at the base and 6 inches tall.
- If desired, sprinkle a little shredded cheese on the wide end of each triangle.
- Place a mini hot dog or cocktail sausage at the wide end of the triangle.
- Roll the dough around the hot dog, starting from the wide end, ensuring it is completely covered. Twist the end to secure.
- Repeat for all hot dogs, yielding about 24 wrapped hot dogs.
- In a small bowl, crack the egg and add the tablespoon of water.
- Whisk together until well combined.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the wrapped hot dogs in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they do not touch.
- Brush the tops with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
- If using garlic powder, sprinkle it over the tops.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, checking at the 5-minute mark.
- Remove from the air fryer and place on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Optionally, sprinkle dried parsley on top for garnish.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like mustard, ketchup, or spicy sriracha mayo.
