Method
Preparation
- Wash and slice the okra into ½-inch pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the sliced okra to the bowl and toss until each piece is well coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cooking
- Spread the seasoned okra in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
- Check for doneness; the okra should be golden brown and crispy. Feel free to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes if necessary.
Serving
- Once cooked, serve immediately with lime wedges on the side if desired.

Notes
For a milder flavor, reduce the cayenne pepper or substitute it with chili powder. Arrange the okra in a single layer for the best air circulation. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but note that the okra will lose its crispiness. For extra crunch, toss in a tablespoon of cornmeal before air frying.
