Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, breadcrumbs, cheese, seasonings, chives, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- Then, add corn and egg and mix together with a fork until a thicker batter forms.
- Using your hands, shape the batter into 8 thin fritters that are about 3 inches wide.*
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (185°C) for about 2 minutes. Then, lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or use parchment liners to prevent sticking.
- Add fritters to the air fryer and spray the tops of the fritters with a bit of cooking spray.
- Cook for 8 minutes, flipping the fritters halfway through. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- After cooking, let cool in the basket for 2 minutes before serving.
- In a small bowl, mix all aioli ingredients together to serve with the fritters for dipping.
