Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Okra Fritters.
Step 1
To start your delicious fritters, grab a large bowl and toss in the sliced okra, diced tomatoes, and diced onions.
Step 2
Next, add the instant grits, lightly beaten eggs, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
Step 3
Now, roll up your sleeves and mix everything together with your hands until it’s all well combined—this is where the magic begins! Once your mixture is ready, shape it into patties about 2 1/2 inches wide, just like a classic hamburger patty.
Step 4
Now, let’s heat things up! Pour some oil into a cast iron skillet and warm it over medium-high heat.
Step 5
When the oil is shimmering and ready, gently place your fritters in the skillet.
Step 6
Cook them for about 5 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown on one side.
Step 7
With a spatula, carefully flip each fritter and let them cook for another 5 minutes until they’re perfectly browned on the other side.
Step 8
Once they’re cooked to perfection, remove the fritters from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve them hot and enjoy the delightful crunch and flavor in every bite! These fritters are not just a dish; they’re a celebration of fresh ingredients and comfort food that will surely bring smiles to your table.
