How To Make Air Fryer Okra
Ingredients you’ll need
- Okra
- Vegetable oil (any oil will do)
- Seasoning mix (listed below)
Can you use frozen okra for the recipe?
Yes, you can if you can’t find any fresh. If you cook from frozen, allow it to cook first before seasoning so that the ice melts first. Allow to cook for 5 minutes, then spray with oil and shake the basket. Toss it in the seasoning after it’s done.
