Air Fryer Hush Puppies Recipe

February 17, 2021 by Rachel 13 Comments

I grew up in a very Catholic household. As such, we celebrated lent in the traditional ways — by not eating meat on the holy days as well as Fridays. This is a tradition I have enjoyed continuing with my own family. But, my kids and I get really tired of the traditional french fries that are served with fish. So, instead, we like to switch it up and serve these air fryer hush puppies.

Air Fryer Hush Puppies

Why the air fryer?

So the Air Fryer in itself is a fairly new (and hot!) commodity. But our convection toaster oven has had an air fry function built in for the last 3+ years. So I’ve had the chance to play around with the air fry function a bit. It worked okay, but having an actual air fryer has seriously changed the game. It heats up very quickly. Something as simple french fries turn out absolutely delicious. And these hush puppies? Well, let’s just say, my southern father is proud!

And if you’re on the fence, just see all of these amazing recipes you can make with your air fryer.

What you’ll need

Besides the aforementioned air fryer, you’ll need the following:

  • Yellow Cornmeal
  • All Purpose Flour 
  • Baking Powder
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic
  • Paprika 
  • Egg 
  • Paprika
  • Milk

That’s it! Most of these items are things you already have in your kitchen. I know I always have to double-check to make sure I have the yellow cornmeal. But, otherwise, most of the items you likely have on hand.
