Fried Okra

Ingredients
Okra, sliced into ¹⁄₂ inch rounds
Flour
Seasoning (I used Emeril’s Essence)
Oil, for frying (I used peanut oil)

Instructions
1. Place okra slices in a ziptop bag or container.

2. Season well with seasoning of your choice. Shake well. Add flour one spoonful at a time and shake after each addition. Add enough flour so that okra is evenly coated.

3. Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add okra and cook until browned and crispy. Drain on paper towels and serve.  

Comments
This is my second experience with okra.  I asked one of the wonderful farmers at my market for advice on how to prepare it and this was her advice.  They turned out well, crispy, and tasty.  If I get more okra during the season, this is probably how I’ll prepare them.
