1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes. Preheating ensures even cooking and crispiness.

2. Prepare the Okra: Arrange the frozen breaded okra in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow hot air to circulate and cook the okra evenly.

3. Optional Oil Spray: Lightly spray the okra with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil. This step is optional but helps in achieving a golden, crispy texture.

4. Set the Cooking Time and Temperature: Cook the okra at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes. This cooking time may vary depending on the size of the okra pieces and your air fryer model.

5. Shake the Basket Halfway Through: At the 6-7 minute mark, shake the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. This helps all sides of the okra to crisp up perfectly.

6. Check for Crispiness: After 12 minutes, check the okra for desired crispiness. If you prefer them crispier, continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.

7. Serve and Enjoy: Once the okra is done, carefully remove it from the air fryer using tongs. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
