Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh okra
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 100 grams cornmeal
- 50 grams almond flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the okra under cold running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim the stems off the okra and cut each pod in half lengthwise.
In a large bowl, combine the cut okra and olive oil, tossing to coat all pieces evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cornmeal, almond flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Dredge the oil-coated okra in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring all sides are well coated.
Arrange the coated okra in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them for best crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the okra is golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the baking time.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the okra as a crunchy side or snack, sugar-free!
