Crunchy Baked Okra Food

CRUNCHY OVEN-FRIED OKRA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Combine the cornmeal, panko, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese in a gallon-size ziplock bag.
• In a separate bowl, gently toss the okra with the beaten eggs until evenly coated.
• Pour oil onto a rimmed baking sheet (15x10x1) and place in the preheated oven for just a few minutes to warm up the oil--be careful to not let it start to smoke.
• In the meantime, add the wet okra a little at a time to the bag and shake until coated. If needed, you may add additional cornmeal and panko breadcrumbs -- if the okra isn't coated as much as you like. Carefully add the okra to the hot baking sheet.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until tender, turning the okra halfway through baking. To get a nice golden brown, increase oven heat to broil and watch carefully, stirring as needed.

CRISPY SKILLET OKRA (NO BREADING!!)

Steps:

• Turn your skillet on medium heat and get it nice and hot.
• While you're waiting for the skillet to heat up, wash and slice your okra into 1 inch long sections.
• When the skillet is hot, add cooking oil (I use canola since olive oil can become bitter at higher heat) and toss in the okra. It should sizzle! This helps seal the juices in the okra and gives it a crispy outside.
• Stir the okra around until it starts to brown, then drop in your sliced onion and season with soul food seasoning (I love Sylvia's). Continue cooking and stirring until the onion is transparent.
• Remove from heat and serve.
