Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh okra
- 100 grams almond flour
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash and thoroughly dry the okra. Trim the ends and cut each okra pod into approximately 1/2 inch thick slices.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the coating mixture.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Step 4
Dip each okra slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is well coated, then transfer to the almond flour mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks, and shake off the excess.
Step 5
Place coated okra slices on a plate and repeat with the remaining okra.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, add the okra slices in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Step 8
Cook the okra for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to remove cooked okra from the pan and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot as a delicious side dish or snack.
