Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh okra
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the okra thoroughly. Trim the stem ends and cut each okra pod in half lengthwise.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, Parmesan cheese, coconut flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the okra to the bowl and toss until all pieces are well coated with the mixture.
Spread the coated okra in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap to allow even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the okra halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your crunchy low-carb crispy baked okra as a healthy snack or side dish!
