Fried Okra is a classic dish often associated with Southern U.S. cuisine. Made by coating bite-sized pieces of fresh okra in a seasoned cornmeal or flour batter and frying them until golden and crispy, it delivers a satisfying crunch with a flavorful, earthy taste. Okra itself is a nutrient-rich vegetable, providing fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. It’s known for aiding digestion and supporting immune health. However, frying adds calories and fat, making moderation key for a balanced diet. While fried okra captures the comforting essence of Southern tradition, for a healthier alternative, it can be oven-baked or air-fried.
