16Ouncebox frozen Nathan's Famous Coney Island bagel dogs(4 count)
Instructions
Remove the bagel dogs from all packaging and place into your air fryer’s basket or rack in a single layer. Tip: I usually put them topping side down to start
16 Ounce box frozen Nathan's Famous Coney Island bagel dogs
Cook on the air fry setting at 370°F (or 375°F depending on your air fryer’s available settings) for 8-10 minutes, pausing halfway through to flip them over
Bagel dogs are ready when they are browned to your liking and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (per Nathan’s guidelines)
Serve hot with your favorite condiments and sides!
Notes
Each box used to be 20 ounces (5 count) but has been reduced to 16 ounce and 4 count as of lately. If you want a larger quantity, you can try Costco, Sam’s Club, or another wholesale store
Currently, Nathan’s only makes full sized frozen bagel dogs with everything bagel seasoning on top. For plain, you’ll want to seek out their mini bagel dogs instead (which are a great appetizer option)!
Though this recipe is for Nathan’s brand, it does work for other brands as well. For example, Vienna Beef bagel dogs work just as well!
The flip is important if you are not preheating your air fryer, as this helps prevent cold spots from forming as it thaws. If you are worried about losing toppings, simply preheat the air fryer ahead of time and then you don’t need to flip them!
I cooked my bagel dogs in a Ninja air fryer without preheating and they were perfect after 10 minutes (verified via thermometer). If you do preheat, lower by 2 minutes to start. Other air fryers will vary slightly in terms of required time
Some of my frozen bagel dogs were broken in the box (which was not damaged at all). It likely won’t happen to everyone, but if you want them looking very nice, I suggest picking up some extras (just from personal experience)
Store any leftover Nathan’s bagel dogs in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. I do not recommend refreezing them after cooking once (it starts to affect temperature and moisture levels)
To reheat a bagel dog, air fry at 350°F for 3-5 minutes, until warmed through. You can also microwave for about a minute (preferably cut in half) but you’ll lose the crispy exterior to the bagel crust
Exact nutritional values will vary based on flavor of ingredients, any condiments or sides added, and quantity consumed, so please consider this a guideline only
