Crunchy Baked Okra

Oops, looks like someone already ate some okra. Ha. I know I posted crunchy baked okra last year but in case any new readers missed it I decided to post again. Okra is plentiful in the South. I love fried okra but not all that grease. So I decided to make baked okra. When shopping for okra get the tiny okra as they are very tender and less pithy and tough. I cut the stems off but I notice pickled okra keep their stems and they are edible, maybe I'll leave them on next time.

I beat one egg and dip the okra in the egg and then I toss the okra in gluten free bread crumbs. Put a small amount of olive oil in the bottom of a glass baking dish. Line the dish with the coated okra pieces and bake at 350 F for 45 minutes or less. Eat them plain or serve with a dipping sauce like spicy peanut sauce or catsup mixed with horseradish. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  5. Fried Okra was big at my house. Dad grew it, mom fried it. Always the small ones. Always the small squash too. Thanks for the recipe.

  6. Okra isn't that popular here. The last time I tried it was when I was living up north in the Cairns area. I must seek some out
