Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fresh okra
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Lemon wedge, for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Rinse and dry the okra well. Trim the stems and slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  2. Toss the okra with oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until coated.
  3. Arrange in a single layer in an air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking halfway, until deeply golden and crisp.
  4. Transfer to a plate, squeeze lemon over the top if using, and serve immediately.

Notes

For the crispest okra, use fresh pods and pat them bone dry. If making a double batch, cook in two rounds so the basket stays uncrowded. Leftovers can be re-crisped in the air fryer at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes.
