Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh okra
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 egg
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the okra thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut off the ends and slice each okra pod into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and coconut milk until well combined and frothy.
Step 4
In another bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Dip each piece of okra first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 6
Place the coated okra on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process until all okra slices are coated.
Step 7
Spray the okra lightly with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip each piece and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Crispy Baked Okra as a healthy snack or side!
