Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh okra
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the okra thoroughly under cool water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Trim the ends of the okra and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg until the yolk and white are fully combined.
Step 4
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
Step 5
Dip the okra slices, one at a time, into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat them with the flour mixture, pressing lightly so the coating adheres well.
Step 6
Once the pan is hot, add the coated okra slices in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the okra in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Cook the okra for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried okra from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the process by adding more coconut oil to the skillet as needed until all the okra is fried.
Step 10
Serve the Paleo Crispy Okra Fry immediately while hot. Enjoy as a side dish or a delicious snack!
