1 1/4 c. cornmeal
1 3/4 lb. fresh okra
Vegetable cooking spray
Buttermilk

Wash okra; drain. Cut off tip and stem ends; cut okra into 1/2 inch slices. Soak in buttermilk. Dredge in cornmeal (okra must be moist for cornmeal to coat well). Lightly coat a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray. Spread okra in a single layer in pan.

Bake at 450 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until crisp, stirring occasionally. Yield: 5 servings, 165 calories.
