Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh okra at local farmers' markets, specialty produce stores, or the produce section of most large supermarkets. Cornmeal and dry spices are available in the baking and spice aisles of any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Wash the okra under running water, drain, and pat dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel; this step is essential to ensure they become crispy.
- Cut the okra pods in half lengthwise.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the halved okra to the mixture and toss well until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the cornmeal and flour over the okra and toss again to distribute the coating evenly.
- Spread the okra on a large baking sheet, preferably non-stick, keeping some space between the pieces.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, turning or stirring them halfway through so they brown evenly.
- Remove from the oven once golden and serve immediately.
Observations
This recipe transforms okra into a crunchy snack or side dish with an amazing texture. The secret is to keep the vegetables very dry before seasoning and to use a blend of flours to ensure they turn out crispy in the oven.
