Looking for a crispy, spicy, and healthy snack? This Crispy Air Fryer Okra is ready in just 10 minutes, without slime and without deep frying! Made with simple Indian spices, this crispy okra is a healthy and delicious snack or side dish. In this recipe, you’ll learn how to make okra in an air fryer using olive oil and flavorful spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and lemon juice.

Instructions

Wash the okra thoroughly and pat them completely dry using a kitchen towel. This is crucial to prevent sliminess. Trim the top and tail ends, then cut the okra into 1-inch pieces or slice them lengthwise.
In a mixing bowl, combine the prepared okra with olive oil, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt. Toss well to ensure all the okra pieces are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Preheat your air fryer to 180-200°C (350-400°F) for 3-5 minutes.
Place the seasoned okra in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even crisping.
Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through (around 4-5 minutes), until the okra is crispy and cooked through. The exact time may vary depending on your air fryer model and okra size.
Once cooked, transfer the crispy okra to a serving dish. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and serve hot as a snack or a side dish.
