Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh okra
- 120 grams gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 60 grams cornmeal
- 40 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 60 ml milk (non-dairy or regular)
- 30 ml olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the okra thoroughly. Trim the stems and tips, then slice the okra into approximately 1/4 inch thick rounds.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, cornmeal, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir in the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until well mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well blended.
Dip each okra slice into the egg mixture to coat, then transfer to the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring each side is evenly coated. Gently press to help the crumbs adhere.
Arrange the coated okra slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the okra to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving as a snack or side dish. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Crispy Baked Okra!
