How did Hush Puppies get the name Hush Puppies?

From what I have researched it appears a cook/chef back in the day, down South is said to have given the name hush puppy to this tasty Bon-Bon. While she was frying a batch of catfish and croquettes, her puppy began to bark at her during the cooking process. I can attest to this as my 2 pups were right by my side waiting for a taste as well. To keep her furry friend quiet, she gave it a plateful of the croquettes and said, “hush puppy.” Since then the name stuck for these charming little dessert bon-bons.

Are air fried hushpuppies healthy to eat?

Yes, this Easy Air Fryer Hushpuppies recipe is the perfect healthy dessert. Low in calories, fat and sugar so feel free to indulge.

Can I use parchment paper in an air fryer?

Yes you can...and you need to for this simple hushpuppy recipe. Parchment paper is a relatively oven safe paper that’s used most commonly in baking. The paper is treated to make it non stick, plus it can also withstand certain oven temperatures too. Parchment paper can be perfect in an air fryer when cooking with a sticky batter. Food products that might otherwise stick to your air fryer basket – e.g. chicken wings in a sticky sauce – won’t stick at all to the parchment paper.

Can parchment paper catch on fire in an air fryer?

Yes, be careful especially with the Ninja Foodi Air Fryer as this Air Fryer cooks very hot. Do not leave your Air Fryer's unattended while cooking and only use parchment paper in your Air Fryer for quick recipes - under 10 minutes. Important Tip: After you are done baking in your Air Fryer make sure you remove the parchment paper and discard. Someone may use the air fryer next and not realize the paper is still in there and start cooking something else...this is a fire hazard...I know because I did it...luckily no harm just a little smoke but be careful.

What brand air fryer is best?

I used 2 Air Fryer's for this Homemade Hushpuppy recipe. I used my Ninja Foodi Air Fryer and also my basic GoWise Amazon Air Fryer . Both Air Fryer's worked great. The Ninja Foodi Air Fryer cooks hotter and quicker than my GoWise Amazon Air Fryer. Even though they are set at the same temperature they do cook differently. If you have the Ninja Foodi you only need 6 minutes to bake the Hushpuppies. If you are using a different brand Air Fryer you may have to add an additional 5-6 minutes of baking time to the recipe.

How many calories are in air fryer hush puppies?

These little Air Fryer Bon Bon's contain only 124 calories per serving. Finding a sweet and savory dessert under 500 calories is next to impossible so try this healthy dessert recipe..you won't be disappointed!

Assemble: Add the diced onions and jalapeño peppers and mix to combine.
Preheat: Preheat your Air Fryer to 360 Degrees for 5 minutes.
Assemble: Lay Down a piece of parchment paper cut to size or you can use a parchment paper round and place dollops of hush puppy dough onto the paper about the size of a golf ball spaced apart evenly. You can use a spoon for this.
Bake: Bake in your Air Fryer for about 6 minutes - give them a flip at the 3 minute mark so they get nice and crispy on all sides.
Remove: Once the Air Frying of the Hush Puppies is completed remove basket from your Air Fryer and let cool for a few minutes. Then carefully remove each Hush Puppy with tongs and place in a nice basket or serving dish.
Topping: If you like a Sweet Hush Puppy give them a dusting of Powdered Sugar. If you like a Savory Hush Puppy whip up a light Aioli Sauce for Dipping. To make a Weight Watcher Friendly Aioli Sauce Whisk together 5 Tablespoons of Low Fat Buttermilk, 3 Tablespoons of Reduced Calorie Mayonnaise, 1 Garlic Clove minced, 1/2 Teaspoon of Finely Grated Lemon Zest, 1 Teaspoon of Lemon Juice, 1/4 Teaspoon of Salt and 1/8 Teaspoon of freshly ground pepper. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to let the flavors blend and you now have a delicious 1 point dipping sauce for your Air Fryer Hush Puppies Recipe. Serving size is 1 1/2 Tablespoon for 1 WW Smartpoint.
Refrigerate: If you have any leftover Hush Puppies you can refrigerate them for up to 7 days or pop them in the freezer for a later date.

Notes

When baking with a batter in your air fryer also use a sheet of parchment paper in your air fryer basket before adding in your recipe ingredients.
To help prevent foods from sticking in your air fryer, lightly coat the ingredients with some cooking spray, or a misting oil before or during cooking.
If you notice your hushpuppy biscuits are not browning or becoming crispy try adding a spritz of olive oil.
Make sure you do not over crowd your air fryer basket. if 6 biscuits are crowding bake only 4 at a time - you need to leave room for the air to circulate.
