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!
