Time 15m

Yield Four to six servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds fresh okra
3 large eggs
1 cup self-rising flour
Salt and pepper to taste
Approximately 1 quart vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Cut the okra into 1/2-inch rounds. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Place the flour, salt and pepper in a plastic bag large enough to hold the okra. Dip the okra in the eggs, then drop into the bag. Shake well, making sure that just enough flour adheres to cover and that the okra pieces do not stick together.
  • Pour enough oil into a deep saucepan to come up to approximately 3 inches in the pan. Heat the oil but watch that it doesn't get too hot. Lower heat. Add okra one handful at a time. Fry, watching carefully, for 3 to 5 minutes until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

I like to add a little bit of cayenne pepper to this recipe for a little extra spice.

The okra was a little slimy for my taste, but the flavor was good.

This recipe was easy to follow and the okra turned out great. I served it with a side of ranch dressing and it was a hit with my family.

I've never been a big fan of okra, but this recipe changed my mind. The okra was so well-seasoned and crispy, I couldn't get enough of it.

This fried okra recipe is a keeper! The okra was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the seasoning was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.
