Ingredients
Ingredients
- 24 oz okra, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic or onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Okra: Trim the okra by removing the stem ends and wash thoroughly. Pat dry to remove any moisture for better crispiness.
- Season: Transfer the trimmed okra to a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle paprika, garlic or onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the okra pieces with oil and seasoning.
- Air Fry: Place the seasoned okra in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 450°F and cook for 15 minutes, shaking or tossing the okra halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
- Serve: Once crispy and golden, remove the okra from the air fryer and serve immediately as a healthy snack or side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure okra is patted dry before seasoning.
- You can adjust seasoning to taste, adding cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the air fryer model.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or spicy aioli.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer to retain crispiness.
