Air Fryer Hush Puppies

Servings:

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!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 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.
  2. 2 Stir cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a large bowl. Mix in onion and bell pepper.
  3. 3 Whisk buttermilk and egg together in a separate bowl; pour into dry ingredients and stir to combine. Let mixture rest for 5 minutes.
  4. 4 Use a 2-tablespoon scoop to drop portions of batter into the prepared basket; leave space between each scoop. Spray with cooking spray.
  5. 5 Cook in the preheated air fryer until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through, 9 to 10 minutes. Serve hot.
