Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh okra
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 egg
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the okra thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut off the ends and slice each okra pod into 1/2-inch thick slices.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and coconut milk until well combined and frothy.
In another bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each piece of okra first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Place the coated okra on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process until all okra slices are coated.
Spray the okra lightly with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip each piece and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Crispy Baked Okra as a healthy snack or side!
