Baked Okra Fries

 

Baked Okra Fries

My kids have always shied away from okra, until I started making this baked okra recipe. These are just like French fries -- nice and crispy, and you can never have just one! 

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh okra
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chat masala
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash okra and either air dry or dry it with a kitchen towel. Okra must be dry, otherwise it will be slimy when you cut it. 

  2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. 

  3. Place okra in the center of a large rimmed sheet pan and drizzle oil over top. 

  4. Add all seasonings and toss well to coat.

  5. Spread okra out in a single layer. 

  6. Roast in the oven for 18-20 minutes, shaking pan once after 10 minutes to turn okra.

BON APPÉTIT!
