Coated with a deliciously spiced egg wash and flaked panko breading, these Crispy Spicy Air Fryer Okra are delicious to snack on or enjoy as a side at your next family meal.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 lb fresh okra
- For the Egg Wash:
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp coriander
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili powder optional
- pinch of salt
- For the Panko Breading:
- 1 cup gluten free flaked panko breading
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili powder optional
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
Instructions
- Rinse okra and dry thoroughly - I used paper towels to do so.
- Prepare egg wash by mixing egg with coriander, smoked paprika, chili powder (if using) and salt in a bowl.
- Prepare breading by mixing panko bread flakes with coriander, smoked paprika, chili powder (if using), garlic powder, parslet, salt and pepper.
- Then, using one hand, dip the dried okra in the spiced egg wash and drop it onto the plate with the breading.
- Then, using the other hand, coat the okra well with the spiced panko breading. Repeat this with all the okra.
- When the okra are all breaded, place them in a single layer at the bottom of your air fryer basket and spray them with your favorite cooking spray.
- For best results, pre-heat air fryer to 400 degrees for 2-3 minutes.
- Set the air fryer to air fry the okra at 400 degrees for 4-5 minutes. Then open air fryer, and using tongs, flip the okra over and air fry for 4-5 minutes at 400 degrees. Repeat if you have any more breaded okra (depending on the size of your air fryer, this might take 2- 3 batches to cook - but the result is work it.
- Enjoy with your favorite sauces!
