Ingredients List

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ pound okra pods, cut into 1/2-inch slices

  • 1 cup cornmeal

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • cooking spray

  • salt to taste


Directions

  1. Place egg in a shallow dish and beat; gently stir in sliced okra.

  2. Combine cornmeal and flour in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Drop 5 slices of okra in the cornmeal mixture, zip the bag, and shake. Remove breaded okra to a plate. Repeat with remaining okra slices.

  3. Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place 1/2 the breaded okra slices in the basket of the air fryer and spray with cooking spray. Cook 4 minutes. Shake the basket and mist okra with cooking spray again. Cook an additional 4 minutes. Shake the basket one last time and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the okra from the basket and salt to taste.

  4. Repeat with remaining okra slices.
