Keto Air Fryer Corn Dogs are crisp, yummy, low-carb, corn-free, battered, and air-fried hot dogs.
These have only three ingredients and are coated in a cheesy fat-head dough that will make you feel like a kid at a carnival again.
Perfect for dipping in sugar-free ketchup and mustard, or squirt your favorite condiments right on the corn dog and enjoy.

Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¾ cups almond flour
- 6 frankfurter pork sausages or hot dogs, cut in half
- 12 wooden sticks
See printable recipe card for more details.
Instructions
Bring a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the shredded cheese along with the almond flour, heating and stirring frequently for 5 minutes until a dough forms. Reserve to slightly cool.
Insert the wooden stick into each hot dog. Reserve. You may need to measure and cut wooden sticks in advance depending on the size of the air fryer.
Take 1 heaping tablespoon of fathead dough and press it flat and wrap and form around each hot dog with your hands. Squeeze well to seal the corn dog.
Line a parchment paper cut to size in your air fryer basket. Arrange the dogs into the Air Fryer (might need to fry in small batches depending on the size of your air fryer) and bake for 5 to 8 minutes at 350º F until golden brown.
Hint: You might need to air fry the corn dogs in small batches of three at a time depending on the size of your air fryer. You may also have to measure and cut your wooden sticks in advance before inserting them into hot dogs (depending on the size of your air fryer).
Equipment
I used an Air Fryer to make this recipe.
Storage
Store the cooked corn dogs in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days. They can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes until warm.

These are great. I think next time I might add 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon of corn flavoring extract to see if it gives it more of a corn dog taste - as the corn crust was always my favorite part. But, I enjoyed immensely. Thank you!

How would these do baking in the oven? I usually have a houseful of boys; so, I need to make a bunch at once.
Stacey
Hi Brenda, you can bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 350F for about 20 to 30 mins.
nancy
yay this is keto friendly! the fat head dough is perfect for the hot dog!

Yum! What a great idea to use cheese for the breading! I love how crispy the air fryer makes these.

Can I use All Purpose flour in this recipe?
Stacey
KW, I think you could, but I can't try it, as I can't even have all-purpose flour in the house because of my Celiac issues.
