I used fresh okra and flour, panko with cajun seasoning. It turned out perfect, even better than my normal method of oil in a cast iron skillet. Awesome recipe, thank you so much for sharing it

Glad it helped! I spray lightly with oil – that helps with the browning –

Thanks for the detailed recipe and cooking method. Before I found this I tried cooking frozen beaded okra at 360o for 11 min in my Ninja Foodie Air Fryer. It cooked but didn’t brown or crisp. Fortunately I had only made a small batch. After reading your recipe I bumped temp to 400o, preheated it, put more frozen breaded okra into the basket, sprayed with Canola Oil (because that’s what’s in my pantry) and started the cooking for 6 min. Opened the Foodie, stirred the okra, sprayed again, and cooked another 6 min more. Def much better cooked than at lower temp. Will need to figure out the oil spray a little better, or maybe raise temp. Thanks so much for this recipe

you might have had too much egg or too much okra in the tray and the air wasn’t able to circulate properly – i’ve never had it turn out mushy.

Glad it worked! I think the oven type might need more time because it’s not as enclosed -maybe the baskets – because they’re a little “tighter” hold heat better? But – again – glad it worked!!!!

I did the version with the Kroger breaded okra. I have a toaster oven-style Air Fryer (Kitchen-Aid), and I have noticed consistently that it needs more time than the basket style air fryer. I cooked them longer and bumped temp up to 420 about halfway through, but eventually they came out flavorful and crispy! Thank you for the assurance that I could cook the breaded okra in my air fryer.

Well – I’m not sure what size air fryer you used. You might have overcrowded your air fryer – which would prevent the okra from getting as crispy as you might like because mine were separated with space between for the air to circulate around. And you can always cook a bit longer – so they’re cooked through. But most likely – overcrowding. Hope this helps!

I tried this mine was not cooked all the way and not crispy what is the mistake I might have made first time to use
