Trim the ends of the okra and slice each pod in half lengthwise.
In a small bowl, add the salt, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Add the okra to a bowl and toss with the oil and spice blend.
Place the okra in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each piece of okra to allow air to circulate around it. Cook in batches if need be.
Air fry at 400°F/200°C for 10-14 minutes, until the okra is browned on the edges. Be sure to shake the basket halfway through.
Serve immediately.

Slicing the okra in half helps them get really crispy in the oven and prevents the insides from getting slimy.
You can change up the spice blend and use your favorite spices. Even just salt and pepper is delicious on this air fryer okra.
Depending on the air fryer you use, you may need to cook the okra in batches. Keep the first batch of okra warm in the oven. Alternatively, after cooking the 2nd batch, you can add the first batch back into the air fryer basket with the 2nd batch and cook for 2 minutes, until they are warm and crispy again.
