Air Fried Okra Patties

The day is grey, cold, depressing. So off to the kitchen for a bit of stress relief in the shape of a childhood side dish, fried okra fritters, or patties. But I’ll lighten them up a bit by using an air fryer versus deep or pan-frying.

Notes

Just a quick little number, using what I happen to have in the fridge.

A perfect snack, great as a side dish, and I have been known to stuff myself with the entire batch.

Great with a bit of butter or dipped in your condiment of choice.
