Air Fryer Frozen Breaded Okra
If you or someone in your family doesn’t like okra, they need to try these breaded okra in the air fryer! They are so crispy on the outside, you won’t even realize you’re eating a healthy vegetable!
These make a great party appetizer or they could even be an after school snack for hungry kids! If you want to serve them for dinner, I have some recommendations for what to pair with it below.
All you need to make these is your air fryer and a bag of frozen breaded okra! Why not keep some in the freezer so when the time is right, you’ll have them on hand? No need to defrost! They can be cooked right from frozen.
How to Cook Frozen Breaded Okra In The Air Fryer
This recipe is so easy and takes no time at all! You will have a delicious and healthy-ish appetizer to serve for dinner in just minutes.
The first step is to spray your air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray or lightly brush with some oil to prevent sticking.
Then pour in the frozen breaded okra in a single layer.
Then set the air fryer temperature to 400F and set to cook for 15 minutes.
After 8 minutes of cooking, take out the basket and give it a shake to toss the breaded okra to ensure it will get brown on all sides.
Return the basket to the air fryer and let it finish cooking.
When done, serve warm and enjoy!
How To Store And Reheat Air Fried Breaded Okra
Breaded okra is best when served immediately, while it’s still hot and crispy straight from the air fryer. However, you can still prepare it in advance if you’d like – it can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. To store air fried breaded okra, just put it in an air-tight food storage container and refrigerate until ready to use.
To reheat breaded okra, just put it on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 1-2 minutes until hot. Microwaved breaded okra won’t be as crispy as it was right after air-frying. If you’d like it to be very crunchy, you can reheat the okra in the air fryer – just put breaded okra in the air fryer and cook on 400F for 5 minutes. Enjoy!
