Notes

  • No oil is required for crispiness, but a light spray can enhance browning.
  • Mini corn dogs cook faster (about 7–8 minutes).
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes.
  • Experiment with dipping sauces like mustard, ketchup, honey mustard, ranch, or cheese sauce for extra flavor.
