Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh okra
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 50 grams Low-sodium breadcrumbs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash the okra under cool running water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Trim the stem ends off the okra and slice into approximately 1/2-inch rounds.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced okra with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Toss until each piece is well-coated with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Add the low-sodium breadcrumbs to the bowl and toss again to ensure the okra is evenly coated with breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Spread the okra on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. This will help them bake evenly and become crispy.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the okra is golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low sodium crispy baked okra as a delicious snack or side dish!
