Ingredients

Crescent rolls: These are cut into thin strips and wrapped around the hot dogs to create the mummy bandages.

How to Make Air Fryer Mummy Hot Dogs

Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles, then cut each triangle into thin strips about ¼-inch wide using a knife or pizza cutter.

Step 3: Wrap each hot dog with the crescent roll strips, leaving a small gap near one end for the face. Continue wrapping until the hot dog looks like a mummy.

Step 4: Place the wrapped hot dogs in the air fryer basket without letting them touch, then air fry at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5: Remove the mummy dogs from the air fryer and let them cool for about 2 minutes, then place the edible eyeballs in the opening for the face. Use a tiny bit of ketchup or mustard if needed to help them stick.

Step 6: Serve the mummy dogs warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Storage and Reheating
