Equipment

1 Air fryer

Ingredients

12 oz. frozen sliced okra or 350 gm.
1 tbsp. olive oil
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. paprika or red chilli powder
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. onion powder

Instructions

Cut the pack and take frozen okra in a bowl. Assemble seasonings and mix them together. I have used salt, garlic powder, onion powder and red chilli powder here.
Drizzle the olive oil over the okra and toss well. Sprinkle the seasonings and toss again to mix everything. Let the frozen okra slices be coated evenly.
Preheat the air fryer to 400F or 200 C for 3 minutes.
Spread the seasoned okra in the basket in a single layer. Upto 16 oz. Or 450 gm. Okra fits easily in my 5-Quart or 4.7 litre Cosori air fryer.
Air fry for 15 minutes. Shake the basket once every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking. Okra gets nice and golden with crispy edges. It is cooked through inside.
If not yet crispy to your liking, you can air fry for a couple of minutes more. That’s it. Your tasty crispy frozen okra done in air fryer is easy.
Serve hot as a snack or side dish. It tastes so delicious. You will be making this simple side often.

Notes

1. Don’t thaw the okra. It crisps really well when cooked straight from frozen.
2. Lay the okra in one layer in the air fryer. Also for even cooking, just shake the basket a few times during air frying.
3. You don’t need any breading or flour for crispy okra. It still turns out nice and crispy.
4. You can store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for upto 2 days. Reheat in air fryer till heated through before serving.
