Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh okra
- 60 grams chickpea flour
- 60 grams cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the okra thoroughly, trim the stems, and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Slice the okra into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine chickpea flour, cornmeal, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of spices.
Step 4
Add the sliced okra to the bowl of dry ingredients. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until the okra slices are evenly coated with the flour and spice mixture.
Step 5
Spread the coated okra in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for maximum crispiness.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through the cooking time, until the okra is golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a snack or as a side to your favorite meal.
