Ingredients

Okra Fries Ingredients

Preparation

Cooking Directions

1. Prepare the Okra

Wash and dry the okra. Trim the ends and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.

2. Prepare the Breading Mixture

In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

3. Coat the Okra

Toss the sliced okra in the breading mixture until evenly coated.

4. Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

5. Fry the Okra

Carefully add the coated okra to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

6. Drain and Serve

Remove the okra fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot as a snack or appetizer.
