Hi Everybody,
I know...my recipes sometimes kind of follow a theme...chocolate covered things...salads...or some kind of meat cooked in a crock pot...fried things...etc. But...there's a reason...and it's because I like to offer variations.
Here's another one that kind of follows a theme...or actually two themes..."fried things" and "okra." Anyway...here it is, and I hope you'll enjoy it:
Oven "Fried" Okra
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Cut up some washed and dried okra and put it in a big bowl.
Put in some sea salt and pepper, and enough olive oil to coat it and then stir it around.
Spread it out on a parchment covered baking sheet and bake until it starts to get golden brown on the edges.
You have to make sure to cut up the okra fairly evenly or you'll get some burnt pieces of the small ones before the larger pieces get done.
Watch it closely in the oven and get it out right as it starts turning brown on the edges. There's a fine line between crispy and delicious and burnt.
To me, this is as good as actual fried okra, and it's less carbs because there's no coating. It's a lot easier too and very little clean up.
Here's the best part...you can have a whole CUP for just FOUR net carbs.
This is extra good with mashed cauliflower (fake mashed potatoes) and meat loaf.
Enjoy!
Love,
Karen
