Ingredients
- 500 g Fresh okra
- 3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 100 g Almond flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Wash the okra thoroughly under running water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Make sure the okra is completely dry to prevent any moisture from affecting the crispiness.
Step 2
Trim the ends of the okra and cut each piece in half lengthwise.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Add the cut okra to the bowl and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Toss the okra to coat evenly with the oil.
Step 5
Gradually add the almond flour mixture to the okra, turning the pieces to coat them with the flour and spice mixture. This will create a light coating on the okra.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 7
Spread the coated okra in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the pieces are not crowded to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the okra pieces to ensure they crisp evenly on all sides.
Step 9
Once the okra is golden and crispy, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a crunchy snack or a healthy side dish for your favorite Whole30 meal.
