Ingredients

500 grams fresh okra
2 tablespoons olive oil
50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and dry the okra thoroughly. Trim the stem ends and cut each okra pod in half lengthwise.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, Parmesan cheese, coconut flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the okra to the bowl and toss until all pieces are well coated with the mixture.

Step 5

Spread the coated okra in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap to allow even cooking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the okra halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your crunchy low-carb crispy baked okra as a healthy snack or side dish!
