🥘 Ingredients
Okra
  • 1 lb fresh okra (sliced into 1/2-inch pieces)
Coating
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Assembly
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for tossing)
Serving
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing (for dipping)
📝 Instructions
  1. Wash okra and slice into 1/2-inch rounds. Pat completely dry. Shared 💡 Dry okra = crispy coating. Moisture = slime.
  2. Mix cornmeal, flour, salt, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne in a bowl. Shared 💡 Cornmeal gives Southern-style crunch — do not skip it.
  3. Toss okra in olive oil, then dredge in cornmeal mixture. Press coating on. Shared 💡 Oil helps cornmeal adhere and brown.
  4. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 400°F. Place okra in pan single layer. Shared 💡 Single layer only — piled okra steams.
  5. Spray generously with oil. Air Fry at 400°F for 6 minutes, toss, 6 more. Top Oven 💡 The toss at 6 minutes ensures even browning.
  6. Okra should be golden brown and crunchy. Serve with ranch. Shared 💡 Crispiest right out of the pan — serve immediately.
💡 Ninja Tips

Dry okra thoroughly — moisture = slime. Cornmeal is essential for Southern crunch. Single layer. Spray with oil. Serve immediately for peak crispiness.

Scaling: Double: Two batches. Half: 1/2 lb okra; coatings halve easily.
