  • Serve with Vegetable Dip or Sour Cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. In a bowl, toss the fresh okra with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until evenly coated.
  3. Sprinkle the okra with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, ensuring all pieces are seasoned.
  4. Place the seasoned okra in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  5. Air fry for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve immediately as a snack or side dish.

Notes

- For best results, ensure your okra is completely dry before air frying to maximize crispiness.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to allow air to circulate properly and achieve even browning.
- If your okra isn't crisp enough, try increasing the cooking time by 2-3 minutes, checking frequently to prevent burning.
- Store leftover air fryer okra in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes to regain crispness.
