Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Fried Okra.
Step 1
Begin by cracking an egg into a shallow dish and whisking it until it’s perfectly blended.
Step 2
Gently fold in the sliced okra, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated in the egg mixture.
Step 3
Next, grab a gallon-size resealable plastic bag and mix together cornmeal and flour inside.
Step 4
Add about five slices of the egg-coated okra to the bag, seal it tightly, and give it a good shake until the okra is evenly covered.
Step 5
Transfer the breaded okra to a plate and repeat this process with the remaining slices.
Step 6
Preheat your air fryer to a sizzling 400°F (200°C).
Step 7
Place half of the breaded okra into the air fryer basket, giving it a light mist of cooking spray.
Step 8
Cook for four minutes, then shake the basket and spritz the okra again.
Step 9
Continue cooking for another four minutes, shake once more, and let it crisp up for an additional two minutes until it reaches a golden-brown perfection.
Step 10
Once done, remove the okra from the basket and sprinkle with salt to taste.
Step 11
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining slices, and enjoy your deliciously crispy air-fried okra as a delightful snack or side dish.
