Okra is one underrated veggie! This awesome vegetable is packed with great nutrients such as Vitamins C, K, and B and magnesium. Additionally, okra is low in carbohydrates, full of antioxidants, and rich in soluble fibre which can help lower blood sugars, cholesterol and keeps you full for longer.

Instructions
- If you are using the oven, preheat to 400 degrees.
- Place the okra in a large bowl. Add oil and spices and stir to coat the okra halves.
- Place on a baking sheet or in your air fryer in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan as this will reduce heat and result in slimy okra.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes or until okra fries are crispy and golden brown. Shake or stir the okra twice during the cooking time. You'll know when it's ready when it's golden brown.
- Enjoy with a squeeze of lemon or lime.
