Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-beef hot dogs | 8 |
| Sugar-free BBQ sauce | 1/4 cup |
| Olive oil | 1 tablespoon |
| Smoked paprika | 1 teaspoon |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Onion powder | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | 1/4 teaspoon |
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2️⃣ Cut the Hot Dogs
Slice each hot dog into 4 to 5 pieces, depending on your preferred size.
3️⃣ Make the Sauce Mixture
In a large bowl, mix the sugar-free BBQ sauce with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until fully blended.
4️⃣ Coat the Hot Dog Pieces
Add the hot dog slices to the bowl and toss them until every piece is thoroughly coated in the BBQ mixture.
5️⃣ Bake Until Crispy
Spread the coated hot dog pieces on the prepared tray in a single layer. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping them halfway through so they cook evenly and develop that perfect crispy edge.
6️⃣ Serve and Enjoy
Serve hot, straight from the oven. Great on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice!
