Air Fryer Okra
We are loving our air fryer. One of our favorite fried things (or at least mine) is fried okra. But frying it in grease leaves the house stinky. When doing the recipe below, I actually tried two methods. I find this recipe is about as close as I can get to real fried okra.
Ingredients
cut okra (I used fresh okra)
1 egg
1/4 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
salt
vegetable oil or cooking spray (I used both methods below)
Instructions
1. Combine cornmeal, flour and salt. Beat egg in a bowl. Dip okra into the egg then into the cornmeal mixture. Coat well.
2. Transfer coated okra to air fryer basket. Spray okra with cooking spray. Cook at 400 for 5 minutes.
OPTION ONE
3. Shake the basket and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Serve!
OPTION TWO
3. Remove okra from the basket and toss in vegetable oil. Then place back in basket and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes. Serve!
***I prefer option 2, but it is less healthy. Both tasted good.
