Provided by Sheila Thigpen

Categories     Vegetables & Sides

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups fresh-cut okra
4 tablespoons cornmeal
6 tablespoons Italian-style panko breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs (beaten)
3-4 tablespoons canola oil

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.

ROASTED OKRA AND ONIONS



Roasted Okra and Onions image

Buy the freshest, firmest okra you can find. Pick pods that are no bigger than your ring finger. Slicing them lengthwise just before you roast them will keep slime to a minimum. This basic technique is very accommodating. You can add quartered yellow squash or zucchini, or even a chopped up fresh tomato. The trick is to roast the vegetables until the edges of the onion begin to turn brown.

BLONDIE'S~FRIED SQUASH, OKRA & POTATOES



BLONDIE'S~FRIED SQUASH, OKRA & POTATOES image

I ate this at a friend's house several years ago, and I've been making it ever since. The ratios of veggies can be how ever you like them. Mine changes depending what I have on hand. They make a great side for any Southern entree. In season serve some ripe thick-sliced tomatoes on the side...YUMMMMY!
