Believe it or not, frozen okra cooks up remarkably well from scratch using an air fryer. The result isn’t mushy or slippery.
Cooking notes
Fro a half back of frozen okra I use a couple table spoons of canola oil. I place the frozen okra in a container, add the spices of the day, seal it, the shake vigorously. This coats the okra all over evenly.
In the picture above I was using a riff on the KFC secret herbs and spices mix which you can google up online. I used a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, celery salt, mustard powder, oregano, basil, salt and black pepper.

I have a new gas oven with an air fryer. I used your recipe and it is awesome. In the large oven I did need about 15 minutes for the okra to get to the crispy state I desire. I did add the following spices: onion powder, garlic salt and something called Kick It up Chicken (local item, I think. Had several people over and it had rave reviews.
That’s fabulous to hear! I am guessing the larger interior space means your cooking times are slightly longer, getting to know your own fryer is the trick 🙂
