But I have to ask, has anyone ever, wait for it....

Fried okra in a air fryer or is that the ultimate sin?

It works ok if you spray them down with Olive oil when you toss them in.

Tried, didn't work for me.

My wife wanted an air fryer, I agreed hoping to lower cholesterol and my weight. Tried several different foods and methods over a week.
Threw the damn thing out and made certain there was no evidence of it ever being here!
There is no connection between flavor / taste and "air", stop fooling yourself.
Eating is an event to be enjoyed in our home not a form of punishment for perceived consumption sins.

I'll have to disagree with some of that, the air fryer has it's place (apparently okra ain't one of them) I actually really like the way burgers come out and they make great wings. Pizza and lasagna are pretty dang good too.

It's a glorified convection oven, so take it for what it's worth.


However, if you're craving some okra that's not boiled, the TAFKAP family loves roasted okra, and I think the Air "Fryer" would be a perfect method to make it. Split fresh okra lengthwise down the middle, and toss in olive oil. Season to taste with salt & pepper, then let it rock in a 400° regular oven. No idea what the setting is on an Air "Fryer" though.

The goal is an almost crispy texture that's got a nice browned finish to it. Goes great with homemade ranch dipping sauce.

We use our Air Fryer more than any other appliance.

Reheating pizza, cooking pot pie, re-crisping french fries.

Honestly, love it.

We use ours for okra all the time. Roll okra in olive oil, salt, pepper. Cool til almost burnt. Even my kids like it

Re-crisping fries? Like leftover fries? What is it like to ever have leftover fries?

Buffalo wings are the only thing I've ever fixed in ours… probably haven't had em but twice this year.

I'll agree. I use ours all the time, at least 3 to 5 times a week. Won't go without having one.

chicken legs, cheese stix, pizza rolls, but my favorite in it is "hard boiled" eggs.
try them one time

My soapbox statement: There is no such thing as an air fryer.

Agree. Eat what you want. Just reduce it by 50 percent and add exercise

Absolutely wore our nuwave oven out. Not sure it was an air fryer but it was handy.
