Air-Fryer Okra
Cornmeal-crusted okra with crisp ridges and tender centers, built for hot sauce.
This is a volume-friendly air-fryer article in the best sense: familiar food, a real photo, and a slightly different lane from the version already in the archive. Cornmeal-crusted okra with crisp ridges and tender centers, built for hot sauce.
The basket does the useful work here — concentrated heat, browned edges, and less oil than the stovetop version. Keep the pieces even, shake once or twice, and let the last two minutes decide the colour.
