Air Fryer Hush Puppies
Air Fryer Hush Puppies combine cornmeal and flour with spices, minced onion, and cream-style corn to create small, golden balls that are crisp on the outside and tender inside. After shaping and coating them with cornmeal, they are chilled before air frying to achieve a light, fried texture using minimal oil. This method offers a way to enjoy traditional hush puppies with less mess and less oil than deep frying, making a good side or snack option when crispy bites are desired.

Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal yellow
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 Tablespoons onion minced
- 1 .25 ounces cream style corn
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg large
- Cooking spray oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the Corn meal, flour, baking powder, garlic salt and cayenne pepper until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until mixed. Stir in the minced onion and cream style corn.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together.
- Place about a cup of corn meal in a shallow bowl and roll the hush puppies into small balls, then roll in the corn meal, and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Place hush puppies in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Remove from freezer, and place in the Air Fryer basket.
- Spray the hush puppies with the spray oil, set the temperature to 400 degrees, and set the time to 10 minutes.
- Check the hush puppies half way through cooking and turn the hush puppies, and spray again with the spray oil.
- Since Air Fryer's differ in cooking, make sure the hush puppies are cooked golden brown out side and are done in the middle. This may require additional time. Add 3 minutes, and cook again if not done.
- Continue until hush puppies are completely done in the center.
- When hush puppies are done, sprinkle with finely minced parsley. Enjoy!
