Spicy Air-Fried Okra

Ingredients

  • 1.25 pounds fresh okra
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning (such as Tajin®)
  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked salt

Method

  1. Heat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Place the whole okra into a resealable plastic bag. Pour in the olive oil, chili-lime seasoning, and smoked salt. Seal the bag and shake it well to coat the okra evenly. Let it sit for a few minutes while the air fryer finishes heating.
  3. Transfer the seasoned okra into the air fryer basket. Air fry for 6 minutes. Shake the basket and continue cooking for about 6 minutes more, until the okra is crispy on the outside.
