If desired, lightly score hot dogs with 2-3 diagonal slits on each side to help crisp up and prevent bursting.
Optionally lightly brush with oil or spray with cooking spray for crispier exterior (not necessary with fatty hot dogs).
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes (optional but recommended).
Place hot dogs in single layer in air fryer basket, ensuring they aren't overlapping.
Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through (around 3-4 minute mark), until heated through and crispy.
If toasting buns, place in air fryer basket during last 1-2 minutes of cooking or immediately after removing hot dogs.
Carefully remove hot dogs from air fryer and place in buns.
Load with favorite toppings and serve immediately.
