Fried okra is a southern treat. Use your oven to produce a crisp coating without frying. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal |
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
dash of ground red pepper |
1/2 cup fat-free buttermilk |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
1 pound fresh okra pods, trimmed and cut into 3/4-inch slices (about 3 cups) |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450º.
2. Combine cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and red pepper in a shallow dish; set aside.
3. Combine buttermilk and egg in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add okra; toss to coat. Let stand 3 minutes.
4. Dredge okra in cornmeal mixture. Place okra on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Lightly coat okra with cooking spray. Bake at 450º for 40 minutes, stirring once. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
