Fried Okra Bowl & Dip Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Okra

    Wash and slice the fresh okra into 1/2-inch pieces.

    In one bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.

    Dip the okra pieces into the egg mixture first, then dredge them in the cornmeal mixture until well-coated.

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5
