Step 1

Rinse okra well. Dry it completely, then cut each okra in half, lengthwise. Trim off the crown and tips.

Step 2

Combine okra, oil, salt, spices and chickpea flour in a large mixing bowl and toss well until the okra gets coated with spices and flour.

Step 3

Preheat the air fryer at 360°F for 2 minutes. When ready, spread the okra in the fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to cook okra in 2 or 3 batches. Cook for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.Note: If you like your okra extra crispy, shake the basket and cook it for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Season the okra as per instructions above. Cook in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway though.
