Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups corn kernels fresh or frozen and thawed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup milk

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Add the corn kernels, shredded cheese, and chopped chives to the dry ingredients and toss to coat.
  • Stir in the beaten egg and milk until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick but scoopable.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
  • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the basket, spacing them apart to allow air circulation.
  • Lightly spray the tops of the fritters with oil. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove carefully and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
