Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Fried Okra.
Step 1
Begin by soaking the sliced okra in a bowl of beaten egg for 5 to 10 minutes, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Step 2
In a separate medium bowl, combine cornmeal, salt, and ground black pepper, mixing until well blended.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers with readiness.
Step 4
Dredge the egg-soaked okra in the cornmeal mixture, making sure each slice is evenly covered.
Step 5
Gently place the coated okra into the hot oil, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.
Step 6
As the okra begins to brown, lower the heat to medium.
Step 7
Continue frying until the okra turns a beautiful golden brown and achieves a crispy texture, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 8
Once done, transfer the fried okra to paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve your deliciously crispy fried okra hot, and savor every bite!.
