Recipes Side Dish Hushpuppie Recipes Air Fryer Hush Puppies 1.7 (3) 3 Reviews 2 Photos These air fryer hush puppies are a bit denser than traditional deep-fried fritters, but overall, they're lighter because they're not cooked in all that oil. With just a subtle hint of heat from cayenne pepper, they're a perfect sidekick to fried fish or shrimp. And they're equally good with just a drizzle of honey!

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings nonfat cooking spray 1 cup yellow cornmeal ¾ cup all-purpose flour 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste ¼ teaspoon garlic powder 2 tablespoons minced onion 2 tablespoons minced bell pepper ¾ cup low-fat buttermilk 1 large egg Directions Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (198 degrees C) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Line the bottom of the air fryer basket with foil and spray the foil with cooking spray. Stir cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a large bowl. Mix in onion and bell pepper. Whisk buttermilk and egg together in a separate bowl; pour into dry ingredients and stir to combine. Let mixture rest for 5 minutes. Use a 2-tablespoon scoop to drop portions of batter into the prepared basket; leave space between each scoop. Spray with cooking spray. Cook in the preheated air fryer until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through, 9 to 10 minutes. Serve hot. Cook’s Note Air fryers heat differently, so check occasionally for doneness. If you need to cook in batches, put all hush puppies back into the fryer at the end and reheat for 1 to 2 minutes.I ended up with 12 good-sized hush puppies using a 2-tablespoon scoop. If you make yours smaller, be sure to adjust the cooking time.
