Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash the okra under cool running water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Trim the stem ends off the okra and slice into approximately 1/2-inch rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced okra with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Toss until each piece is well-coated with the spice mixture.
Add the low-sodium breadcrumbs to the bowl and toss again to ensure the okra is evenly coated with breadcrumbs.
Spread the okra on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. This will help them bake evenly and become crispy.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the okra is golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low sodium crispy baked okra as a delicious snack or side dish!
