Air Fryer Okra
Air Fryer Okra is a classic Southern side, lightened up by using an air fryer instead of cooking it in all that oil!
Equipment
- air fryer
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh okra sliced into ½ inch slices
- 1 cup cornmeal
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- black pepper to taste
- 2 eggs
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400.
- Combine cornmeal, flour, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper in a gallon-sized zipper bag. Shake to mix well.
- Beat the egg in a medium-sized bowl. Add cut okra and stir to coat.
- Let excess egg drip off okra as you transfer it to the bag. Reseal and shake to coat okra completely.
- Spray the inside of the air fryer basket and transfer okra to the basket. Spray with cooking spray, toss, and spray again. Let cook 5 minutes.
- Toss okra, spray with more cooking spray, and cook 5 more minutes.
- Check for crispiness. Depending on your air fryer, your okra may be done now. If not, toss the okra, spray again, and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
