Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh okra
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Zatarain's Seasoned Fish Breading or similar product
- spray oil
Instructions
- Wash and completely dry the okra. Next, slice the okra into rounds. Discard the ends. Toss the okra slices in the mayonnaise, and make sure it is completely coated.
- Begin by adding 1/4 of the breading to the mixing bowl and coat the okra. (see the second photo in the collage above). Add the remaining breading and stir to coat. The okra should be well coated like the third photo in the collage above. If you have a bit of extra breading left in the bowl you can add a small amount (1-2 teaspoons) of additional mayonnaise to help all of the breading adhere.
- Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees for 3 minutes. Place the breaded okra in a single-layer in the air fryer. Spray the okra with oil and fry for 5 minutes, turn and fry for another 4-5 minutes or until crispy.
- Remember, the cooking time will vary based on how thick you slice the okra, how fresh it is, and what kind of air fryer you have. Check it regularly and remove it from the air fryer when brown and crispy.
