Oven – For the oven, you can cook them at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. The charred edges give them great flavor. You can cook them the same way as my Grilled Green Beans.
Grill – Okra cooked on the grill is an excellent option too. Once done, I serve on a plate with ranch sauce for dipping or eat them plain. I shake the basket several times throughout the cooking process to allow each side to cook evenly. They cook for 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees or until the desired crispiness. Once the air fryer is preheated, I add the okra to the basket in a single layer to allow for even cooking. I prefer to leave the okra whole with the stems on but you can remove if you prefer. I then add my okra, oil, and seasoning to a bowl and coat evenly. I turn the air fryer to 400 degrees and preheat for 2-3 minutes. This part is super simple and much easier to clean up after. It allows me to get that crunch I miss from breaded fried okra while still keeping some of the actual flavors. While these things are good, I prefer my veggies to not taste like oil when they’re cooked. I’m pretty sure any vegetable can be fried. Most of the veggies I grew up eating were served this way - fried yellow squash, fried potatoes, and onions, fried tomatoes. It was almost always served breaded in flour and fried in oil.
My family always had it in their gardens every summer. Growing up in Georgia, I ate a lot of okra. It is super quick and perfect for a hot summer day when you do not want to heat up the stove. But, this recipe is another one of my favorite go-to's. In less than 15 minutes, you can have crispy okra that is perfect for a snack or side dish. Air Fryer Fried Okra is a quick and healthier take on the traditional recipe.
