Baked Okra Fries #SundayFunday

By

Today the Sunday Funday group is sharing recipes with okra. Thanks to Stacy of Food Lust People Love, Sue of Palatable Pastime, Rebekah of Making Miracles, and Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm for coordinating this low-stress group. 

And, this week, Sneha has asked us to share okra recipes. We love okra in this household. I have made Okra Chips Two Ways. and Quick Pickled Okra. And it's an important ingredient in gumbo as that dish derived from the word 'gombo' which translates to 'okra' in many West African languages.

In any any case, here's the okra line-up from the #SundayFunday bloggers...

Baked Okra Fries

But I figured I'd share a side dish today. When I made these, we battled over them and I definitely will double the recipe next time. This simple dish comes together quickly and tastes amazing.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound okra, rinsed and dried
  • 1 Tablespoon corn meal
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Procedure

Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Trim the end off the okra and slice them in half lengthwise. Place okra in a large mixing bowl. Add in the corn meal, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat. Place okra on a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.


The okra fries should be browned and nicely crisped. Serve immediately as they will get less crisp as they cool.

That's a wrap for the #SundayFunday okra event. We'll be back next weekend as we share recipes with something on a stick. Stay tuned!

    Delicious! I can see why your okra disappeared so quickly. It really is wonderful when it's crunchy!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...
