Okay, confession time. I thought I hated okra. And that may still be partially true because I do hate the gooey mess of okra, but thanks to my good friend Amy with Greenbrier Farms, I was introduced to a whole different way of cooking okra that makes it crispy and dry and deeeelicious. Some of the smaller pieces are so crispy and good you might even mistake them for French fries. Yep, it’s that good. So please do me a favor and give this super easy recipe a go, and then tell me if I’ve turned you into an okra lover as well! :)
The Best Okra I've Ever Had!
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
-
Spread okra on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil. Bake just under the top rack of the oven for approximately 40 - 45 minutes, stirring with a spatula after 20 minutes and every 10 minutes after that until it begins to turn dark brown and crispy, but not burnt.
-
Serve warm or at room temperature. The top stems can be eaten, but we personally just prefer the bottom portion.
Here’s a picture of my friend Amy in her farm kitchen introducing us to this method of making okra…thanks friend! :)

Never had it like this….I slice it round slices, dip in egg mixture, fry in coconut oil, s&p and it is delicious…..probably not as healthy as yours….but they say coconut oil is good for you…..
I call them OKRA FRIES,I usually cut them in half length wise and then oil them up and as
Th and pepper them too! They are one of our favorite veggies, also cheaper when they are in season so I’m always keeping my eye out! I should try them whole though, I’ve never done that!
Greenbrier Farms is right up the road from me. I haven’t tried this, though. May be the next thing on my list!
This roasting method works with a variety of other veggies as well – broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts……..all good.
heyya.Never had it like this….I slice it round slices, dip in egg mixture, fry in coconut oil, s&p and it is delicious…..probably not as healthy as yours….but they say coconut oil is good for you…..
Ok I followed recipe wasn’t loving it. Never had okra but are you supposed to eat the seeds and it wasn’t crispy. It was mushy maybe I didn’t leave it long enough
Hubby grew up in the south and LOVES okra…the consistency reminds me of buggers … so gross. BUT I’ll try these as I TRUST you and I’m willing to try everything once…
Lovely…what class
OOPS…yeah, that was too much. Sorry :(
I love Okra, can’t get enough of it. Never tried crisping it, I will surely try when I can put my hand on them. In the past, we used to steam them and when cool, we dip them in a vinaigrette sauce and eat them like that. They are very nice this way also.
OMG. Sorry guests. I ate them all before you arrived!
Can you use frozen okra?
Fresh is the to go with this recipe. The texture with frozen would not be the best.
