Ingredients

• Fresh okra pods, washed and sliced into rounds
• 1 cup cornmeal or cornbread mix
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

1. Combine the cornmeal (or cornbread mix) in a mixing bowl with the salt and pepper. Combine thoroughly.
2. In a large skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. For frying, you’ll need about 1-2 inches of oil.
3. Coat the okra slices thoroughly with the cornmeal mixture.
4. Place the coated okra slices into the hot oil, careful not to crowd the pan.
5. Fry the okra slices until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. This typically takes 3-5 minutes.
6. Remove the fried okra from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
7. While the fried okra is still hot, sprinkle with more salt.
8. Fried Okra is a tasty side dish or snack. Take advantage of them while they’re hot and crispy!
