Follow The Directions

01

Step

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. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, stir together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Mix in the minced onion and bell pepper until evenly distributed. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes. (Prep time: 2 minutes, Rest time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, carefully drop portions of batter into the prepared air fryer basket, ensuring space between each hush puppy. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

05

Step

Cook in the preheated air fryer until the hush puppies are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through, approximately 9 to 10 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy! (Cook time: 9-10 minutes)

For a sweeter touch, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or sugar to the batter.
Feel free to experiment with different spices! A pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of your favorite hot sauce can add a unique flavor.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
