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.
