- 16 oz frozen okra

Spices
- 1/2 tsp garlic Fresh garlic recommended for more flavor.
- 1/2 tsp black pepper Adjust to taste.
- 1/2 tsp salt Can be omitted for a lower sodium dish.
- to taste red pepper flakes Optional garnish for heat.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 400F (200C). If your air fryer doesn't have a dedicated preheat button, turn it on to 400F and let it heat up for 3-4 minutes.
- Arrange the frozen okra in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Lightly spray the okra with your olive oil spray (or drizzle with olive oil).
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, black pepper, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the frozen okra.
- Using a brush, rub the spices over the okra lightly or shake the basket to coat evenly.
Cooking
- Air fry the okra for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
- Once cooked, garnish with red pepper flakes if desired and serve hot.
Notes
Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even crispiness. Adjust the seasoning based on your taste. Avoid overcrowding the basket; cook in batches if necessary. For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes or a hot sauce.
