Fried Okra

Ingredients

2 pounds okra sliced

3/4 cup corn meal

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup Canola or vegetable oil

Directions

To make this fried okra, you will preheat oven to 350ยบ Fahrenheit.

Then, mix together the okra, corn meal, flour, and salt in a large mixing bowl, and make sure the okra is well-coated.

In the meantime, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Then add okra to skillet once oil has reached the point where if a drop of water is added to the oil, it will sizzle.

Allow okra to brown on one side, which will take about 3 minutes, before gently stirring. Once both sides of okra have browned, about 3 more minutes, place into preheated oven.

Cook until fork tender, about 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

When slicing okra for cooking, make sure to discard the stem end and the tip. These are too tough, in my opinion, for frying.
