1 1/4 c. cornmeal
Pepper to taste
1 3/4 lb. fresh okra, washed, drained, tips and stems, removed, cut into 1/2 inch slices
Vegetable cooking spray Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cornmeal and pepper. Dredge okra in cornmeal mixture. (Okra must be moistened, from washing, for cornmeal mixture to coat well.) Lightly coat a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray. Spread okra in a single layer in pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and serve. Yields: 6 servings. |
