Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams okra
- 50 grams almond flour
- 50 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 20 grams coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 large egg
- 100 milliliters olive oil
Instructions
Wash the okra under running water and pat dry thoroughly using a kitchen towel.
Trim the ends and slice the okra lengthwise into quarters.
In a bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, coconut flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
In another bowl, break the egg and whisk it lightly.
Dip each piece of okra into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the prepared flour and cheese mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating adheres well. Repeat for all pieces and place them on a plate.
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Once hot, add the coated okra pieces in batches and fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately as a crispy snack or a savory side dish.
