Air Fryer Corn Fritters
Air Fryer Corn Fritters
by Mackenzie Burgess, RDN
These crispy corn fritters offer a perfect blend of savory flavors and textures. Made with a mixture of flour, breadcrumbs, and shredded cheese, the fritters are seasoned with a choice of spices and fresh chives, then combined with drained Libby’s Whole Kernel Sweet Corn and a beaten egg to form a thick batter. Shaped into thin patties and cooked in an air fryer, they achieve a golden, crispy exterior while staying tender inside. Served with a homemade maple aioli—a creamy blend of Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, lemon juice, pure maple syrup, garlic, and smoked paprika—these fritters make for an irresistible snack or appetizer.
