Air frying okra is a quick and easy way to cook this nutritious vegetable. Okra is a good source of fiber and vitamins A and C. Air frying okra is a healthier alternative to deep frying, and it produces crispy, tender okra that is perfect for snacking or serving as a side dish.
Make sure you rinse and dry the okra with a neat paper towel or ordinary towel.
Mix the ingredients for the coating in a bowl that is shallow. In another bowl stir the eggs and seasoning.
Douse the okra in the egg wash, then put it in the coating combination. You can apply your fingers or tongs to move the okra in the mixture and be certain all sides are coated. (If you slash the okra into bite-sized fragments, just pour the egg wash over the sliced okra and combine the okra till it is evenly coated.)
On a parchment-lined baking sheet set the breaded okra on it. And replicate the last step till all the okra is breaded thoroughly.
Heat up the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for about 3 minutes.
Applying tongs set the breaded okra in a single layer in the air fryer and gently sprinkle the okra with cooking oil spew. You can air fry the okra for about 10 minutes. Next, gently toss the okra using tongs and gently sprinkle with cooking oil spray. So air fry the okra for an extra 3-5 minutes, or till it has attained your preferred level of crispiness.
Reprise this measure if you have any more okra to cook. (You can cook in sets. You may need to cook the okra in about 2-3 sets, hingeing on the dimensions of your air fryer.)
Enjoy with creamy chipotle sauce or your favored sauce. Hmmm, yummy!
