Weight Watchers corn fritters air Fryer

These easy fritters provide summery goodness in every bite, with the crisp, sweet pop of fresh corn kernels and the mild meatiness of zucchini. They’re great as either an everyday side dish or appetizer for a casual gathering. Fresh corn definitely offers the best flavor and texture, but in a pinch you can use canned. As you air-fry subsequent batches of fritters, you can keep the cooked ones warm in a 200°F oven; place on a wire rack in a sheet pan so they don’t get soggy on the bottom.

"Another WW site recipe that turned out great. Needing to use up some of my corn harvest and found this. Very good and 0 free style points, if you don't want to use fresh corn I'm sure frozen would do; just make sure it's defrosted and drained. For a little extra zing I did add about 2 teaspoons of chopped jalapeno to mine"

Can corn fritters be cooked in an air fryer?

Place frozen corn fritters in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 375F for 12-14 minutes flipping halfway or until heated through and crisp on the outside.

How do you cook frozen fritters?

Reheat your fritters straight from the freezer. I don't advise thawing the fritters because it can leave them soggy and they don't take long to heat from frozen. The best way to reheat frozen fritters is in the oven. Preheat it to 350°F (180°C) and put the fritters on a wire rack to heat for 10-15 minutes.

Can I use self raising flour instead of plain flour in fritters?

Making these fritters is really quite simple. The basic batter is made with either self-raising flour or plain all purpose flour plus baking powder, combined with egg and milk.

What are corn fritters made of?

What are Corn Fritters? Corn Fritters are savory, cornmeal-based batter with a pinch of sugar, milk and eggs mixed with canned or fresh corn.
