Oh air fryer, how I love you. I just cannot get over how delicious air fried food is without all of the oil and fat of traditional frying! I loved fried food as much as the next person, but I don’t love all the calories or how I feel after eating it. I have been experimenting with my air fryer and have been making tons of delicious foods, but these cheesy corn fritters are a new favorite. I will be making these fritters for as long as fresh corn is available!

What type of corn to use in corn fritters?

I prefer using fresh corn, straight off the cob, but since it is not always in season, canned corn will work too. Just make sure to drain off all the liquid and pat it dry. I would avoid using frozen corn as it could get mushy.

What to serve with air fryer cheesy corn fritters?

There’s a variety of good dipping sauces that go well with corn fritters. I tried ketchup, ranch dressing, and even bbq sauce, but my favorite was my easy homemade smokey sour cream sauce. It is so easy. You mix three heaping tablespoons of sour cream with 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder,  and 1/2 tsp onion powder. Stir well and refrigerate until needed.

If you would like to make these fritters but don’t have an air fryer, you can oven bake them. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and bake on a sheet pan sprayed with non-stick spray for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown. You could also deep fry them if you have a fryer!Air Fryer Cheesy Corn Fritters

Want to know which air fryer to buy? I have had two now and have loved both. I began with a Ninja Version and now have an Instant Pot Brand. I prefer the IP Brand because it has a larger, square basket, but the Ninja version cooked just as well!

    Can this be used in an airfryer that has racks instead of the basket?

    Want to try these but I am used to plain ordinary corn fritters. If I leave out the cheese, would I need to add flour or panko to make up for the bulk?
