Rinse the okra and dry it well. Trim the stem ends without cutting into the pods, then slice crosswise into ½-inch pieces.

Toss the okra with the buttermilk. In a separate bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, and cayenne.

Lift the okra from the buttermilk, let excess drip away, and toss it in the cornmeal mixture. Shake off loose coating.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Mist the basket and arrange the okra in a single layer; spray the tops lightly.

Air fry for 10–14 minutes, shaking well every 4 minutes and adding another light mist to dry-looking spots, until crisp and browned. Cook in batches as needed.
