1 1/4 c. cornmeal
1 3/4 lg. 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 15 x 10 x 1 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. Yields 5.
