Oven Okra Fries
*2-4 servings
Ingredients
- 20-25 fresh okra pods, medium-large size, sliced vertically
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- ¼ tsp. celery seed
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. Tajín (optional if you want to add a touch of heat)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Toss okra with oil and seasonings in a medium mixing bowl.
- Spread okra on a sheet tray (or two) lined with parchment. Make sure they aren’t piled on top of each other — that will make them steam, and you won’t get those fried crispy edges we love.
- Cook for 20 minutes, stirring the okra with a spatula halfway through. They should be brown and crispy but not burnt.
- Serve warm as a snack or side dish (alone or with dipping sauces).
