Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh okra pods washed and dried
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Trim the ends of the okra and slice each pod in half lengthwise.
  • In a small bowl, add the salt, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Add the okra to a bowl and toss with the oil and spice blend.
  • Place the okra in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each piece of okra to allow air to circulate around it. Cook in batches if need be.
  • Air fry at 400°F/200°C for 10-14 minutes, until the okra is browned on the edges. Be sure to shake the basket halfway through.
  • Serve immediately.
