Air Fryer Roasted Okra Recipe
Ingredients
- pound okra, ends trimmed and pods sliced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1: Gather all the ingredients and ensure they are ready to go.
Step 2: Preheat the air fryer to 350F (175C).
Step 3: Place the okra, olive oil, salt, and black pepper into a large bowl. Stir gently to coat the okra evenly.
Step 4: Arrange the coated okra in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Make sure the pieces are not overcrowded for even cooking.
Step 5: Cook the okra in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes, making sure to toss the basket halfway through the cooking time.
Step 6: After 10 minutes, toss the basket again and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the okra reaches your desired level of crispiness.
Step 7: Remove the okra from the air fryer and serve immediately as a crunchy, flavorful snack or side dish.

This is one of those recipes you will use weekly. I’ve made it four times and loved it each time. I even used pickled okra and it was out of this world delicious. No slime at all!! Add hot pepper flakes, sriracha salt, or whatever spices you like. I even used bacon grease once. Just awesome! You can’t go wrong. Thank you for the recipe.

I cooked at 375 X 5 min, stirred then another 5 min at same temp. Wanted more crispy boosted the heat up to 400 X 3 min. Spices: garlic powder, soy, cayenne, smoked paprika, pepper and olive oil. Loved it! Would like more crispy so will start off at 400.

Always looking for a new recipe for my airfryer. This is a winner, I made the first batch just as directed, good. Next batch I added 1/3c of yellow cornmeal, 1/4t paprica and garlic powder to the coating. better. I would suggest you use the seasoning you would use if you fried it or at least the ones you like the best.

Breading it like you do in the frying pan 18-20 minutes @ 400 degrees for more than 1 serving. If you are making just 1 serving then check it at 16 minutes. I use just a table spoon of oil for a one pound bag,thaw okra put in a bowl pour oil over okra mix it real good so to cover okra then use about a half cup of cornmeal cover okra good .put in air fryer. Then cook . it will be just as crisp as if you put it in the frying pan,just not with all the oil.

Great alternative to frying or heating the oven (AND the kitchen) to roast! I mixed pickled (rinsed) and fresh okra since I didn't have enough fresh. Although the pickling would be tasted slightly, the dish was delicious! I had to air fry longer and higher temperature than suggested.

What an easy, healthy, tasty recipe! Great snack, appetizer, side or main dish! I used fresh okra from my garden. I’ve learned the smaller the okra the better. The large ones are very fibrous but still taste good. Will make again, thank you!

I ate this while watching a Dukes of Hazzard marathon. Made me feel like I was there with the General Lee.

Okra is not uniform in size, some were not crispy. I liked it regardless.

Loved it. I might of put more in the basket than recipe could have been crispier.
