Okra is known for its gooey interior, so you might be surprised by how crispy the pods can get. Here, they’re sliced in half lengthwise, tossed with seasoning salt and a touch of canola oil, then sprinkled with cornstarch to ensure a light crunch. Just 15 minutes in the circulating dry heat of the air fryer and out come next-level veggie fries to enjoy with lunch or as a stand-alone snack.
