Fried okra made in the air fryer. Super easy to do with a cornmeal coating to make them golden brown and crunchy on the outside. Delicious with a Sriracha mayo dip, ketchup, or ranch.

Lemony Israeli Couscous with Asparagus
I came up with this versatile dish during asparagus season. You can eat this as a salad for lunch, or as a great side dish to kabobs or grilled meats. This makes two hearty lunch-sized salads or four side-dish portions.
