Air Fryer Hush Puppies

Forget about deep frying, and give your hush puppies a light update using an air fryer. They’re just a bit denser in texture than deep frying, and look for a subtle hint of heat. They’re the perfect sidekick to fried fish or shrimp, but they’re equally good with a drizzle of honey.

Step: 1

Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (198 degrees C) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Line the bottom of the air fryer basket with aluminum foil and spray with nonfat cooking spray.

Step: 2

Stir cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a large bowl. Mix in onion and bell pepper.

Step: 3

Whisk buttermilk and egg together in a separate bowl. Stir into cornmeal mixture. Let mixture rest for 5 minutes.

Step: 4

Drop cornmeal mixture into the foil-lined basket using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, making sure not to have them touching each other. Coat with nonfat cooking spray.

Step: 5

Cook in the preheated air fryer until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through, 9 to 10 minutes. Serve hot.
