I love hush puppies. Something about that crispy crust around the cornbread balls makes it a top contender for best sides to bring to any holiday feast. Since owning my first air fryer I've been trying to find recipes for my favorite foods to make a healthier version in my air fryer, and luckily for you and me, I have the perfect recipe to make these lovely little treats in the air fryer, so you can skip out on that extra oil and won't have to worry about putting on those extra pounds!

Directions
