Thank goodness for air fryers or my family would probably never get many side items! Over the last couple years, we have come to rely on our air fryer for side items to go with our main entrees. These frozen hushpuppies in air fryer oven are on repeat over here! Read on to see how to air fry frozen hush puppies to a perfect consistency!
You can buy frozen hushpuppies at most any grocery store in the frozen foods area – near the frozen French fries. We have put store bought hush puppies in the air fryer from many brands and many stores. Today, in these pictures, I am working with a basic brand from Walmart. These are good, but I have to admit this is not my favorite version of frozen hushpuppies. I prefer spicier hushpuppies.
My favorite spicy frozen hushpuppies are the Savannah Classics Jalapeno Frozen Hush Puppies from Edward’s Food Giant. Those are the absolute best! However, when the idea hit me to write this post, we didn’t happen to have those on hand.
How Long to Cook Frozen Hushpuppies in the Air Fryer
With our Phillips 2 quart air fryer, we have always found the magic number to be about 7-8 minutes at 350 degrees – if you are wondering how long to cook frozen hushpuppies in the air fryer. Of course, all air fryers are different. It might be best to keep an eye on the the hushpuppies a few minutes before the timer goes off – especially the first time you are making this recipe. Do not overcook these as they will turn into hockey pucks!
Putting Frozen Hushpuppies in Air Fryer Basket
Try your best to keep the hushpuppies from overlapping too much. With a small air fryer like ours, I can usually fit 10-12 or so without overcrowding. But that also depends on the size. Some hushpuppies are larger than others.
When you remove the frozen hushpuppies from the air fryer basket, they should be golden with slightly crispy edges. You might test one to make sure it is warm all the way through the middle.
What to Serve With Air Fried Frozen Hushpuppies
Usually, I serve this easy side item with a side of ranch dressing. My girls prefer ketchup. Both are classic and great choices without any extra prep necessary.
And that’s all there is to this simple side item!
