1
Preheat oven at 400 degrees F. Clean and dry your okra.
-
2
Next cut okra into strips.
-
3
This is the part that takes a little bit of time.
-
4
We lightly tossed them in some coconut oil (about 1-2 teaspoons) to help make the flour and spices stick.
-
5
Grab a Ziploc bag and place your cut okra strips into the bag.
-
6
Toss in your brown rice flour and spices.
-
7
You can spice them any way you like.
-
8
Toss the bag all around till all the okra fries are covered in flour and spices!
-
9
Take okra out of bag and place the now covered okra fries on a pan.
-
10
We ended up adding a little bit more coconut oil on the pan (about 1 Tablespoon) to help make the fries crispy.
-
11
Bake the okra fries in oven for 25-30 minutes.
-
12
If you like, you can heat a large skillet and the remaining oil over medium heat and cook the okra some more, until your desired texture is reached.
-
13
They ended up not getting as crispy as we were looking for by the time we pulled them out of the oven.
-
14
Next time we will try it from the beginning on the skillet to see how it compares to baking them.
-
15
Our batch of okra fries was a mix of crispy and soft, chewy okra fries.
-
16
Not a bad attempt for our first time.
