    Hi everyone. I pop them in the airfryer for a few minutes, after soaking, wiping and cutting them. That helps with the slime. 😊

    Soaking in a little cold salt water, drain then dry, will help or if you must lemon juice of vinegar. Honestly the fresher they are the less issues you will have. For sure the smooth, greener ones are best, with the snap. It can only go wrong is you mess around, just cut and cook without over working them.
    If you are adding liquid like tomato, make sure it is cooked dry before adding you can cook these separately. This will avoid the stewed effect.
    Form my understanding Louisiana style "gumbo" they embrace the slime and and make it work, they even substitute with other slime producing veg.

    Slime in okra can be neutralized by adding soya sauce. After you add the okra 500gms add 1.5 table spoons of soy stir and np more slime. Please try and let me know your results.

    In Greece we eat a lot of okra. There is no need to cut them up, just trim the heads into a little cone shape. This takes some time. Even better is to buy frozen ones. They are already trimmed and are excellent. No need to fry them. Put them in a pan and sprinkle them generously with vinegar. Wait about half an hour. Now add your onions, spices, tomatoes, oil and whatever you like. Cover the pan and cook. There will be no slime. We especially like the very small ones.

    My Mother - in The Middle East - used the SMALLER okra, TRIMMED the stem, but did not cut the okra open! Then she washed and DRIED THEM, in one layer, sometimes in the sun...
    Then she fried them whole in little oil, till they were light-brown and crispy... no GOO anymore. The okra then was cooked in a TOMATO SAUCE that started with fried onion - rather crispy - and garlic...
    I love okra that way, on some basmati rice...
    I use FROZEN OKRA, and I dry it well, then ROAST IT in the OVEN - even countertop-oven is sufficient! I bet an air-fryer will do a great job - but I don't own one!
