Step 1
Start by heating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). While it’s warming up, toss the whole okra into a resealable bag. Drizzle in some oil, sprinkle on chili-lime seasoning and a pinch of salt, then seal the bag and give it a good shake to coat everything evenly. Let it sit for a few minutes while the air fryer comes up to temperature. Once ready, pour the okra into the basket in a single layer and cook for about 6 minutes. Give the basket a shake to turn the okra, then cook for another 6 minutes or until the okra is nice and crispy on the outside. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it

How to serve
Serve this as a tasty snack or side dish alongside grilled meats or sandwiches. It also pairs well with a cooling dip like ranch or a tangy yogurt sauce to balance the spice.
Storage & leftovers
