Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Fresh okra
- 3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 100 g Almond flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
Instructions
Wash the okra thoroughly under running water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Make sure the okra is completely dry to prevent any moisture from affecting the crispiness.
Trim the ends of the okra and cut each piece in half lengthwise.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the cut okra to the bowl and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Toss the okra to coat evenly with the oil.
Gradually add the almond flour mixture to the okra, turning the pieces to coat them with the flour and spice mixture. This will create a light coating on the okra.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the coated okra in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the pieces are not crowded to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the okra pieces to ensure they crisp evenly on all sides.
Once the okra is golden and crispy, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Serve immediately as a crunchy snack or a healthy side dish for your favorite Whole30 meal.
