Ingredients
  

  • 4 vegan sausages/hot dogs
  • oil spray (for coating hot dogs)
  • 4 vegan hot dog buns (optional if serving as a hot dog)
  • ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, pickles, jalapeños, sautéed onion, crispy onions or shallots, hot sauce, bell peppers, sauerkraut, etc.
  • pasta, noodles, on a salad
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. If needed, remove the firm casing from the vegan sausages/hot dogs. Read the instructions on your specific brand.
  2. Place the vegan sausages/hot dogs in a single layer in the air fryer basket/tray. Lightly coat with oil spray.
  3. Air Fry at 380°F/193°C for 5 minutes. Flip or shake the basket to turn the vegan sausages/hot dogs.
  4. Continue to Air Fry at 380°F/193°C for another 2-5 minutes, or until desired crispiness.
  5. If serving as a vegan hot dog, warm the buns separately in the air fryer for 1 minute, or place the sausages in the buns and air fry for about 1 minute to warm and crisp the buns.

Notes

- For extra crispiness, ensure the sausages are in a single layer without overcrowding the air fryer basket.
- Check your specific vegan sausage brand for casing instructions; some are edible, others are best removed.
- To prevent dry buns, lightly brush them with a little oil before warming in the air fryer for a minute.
- If I find the sausages aren't browning evenly, I often increase the temperature by 10°F for the last minute or two to achieve that perfect golden char.
