I love the taste of deep-fried okra. Sometimes though, I want to limit my carbs, so I make okra "fries". They give me the flavor of fried okra, but with far fewer calories, and much less fat. Okra "fries" are a tasty snack and they can be an interesting veggie side for dinner. I love to munch them, plain, as a snack. Serve with dipping sauce of your choice.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh okra, about 3-inches long
  • 1 ½ teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Wash and dry okra, trim stems and tips, and slice in half, lengthwise. Place in a bowl and toss with olive oil and seasoned salt.
  3. Put okra slices, cut-sides down, in the basket of an air fryer, in batches if necessary, and cook until crispy, 12 to 15 minutes.
