Typically southerners fry their okra in cornmeal or a mixture of cornmeal and flour, but I like just a light coating of flour.

Fried okra - a deep south favorite! Tender okra dredged in finely ground white cornmeal and fried to a crispy, golden brown. Today I'm sharing with you a heritage recipe for an old favorite, Southern Fried Okra. Now, I know that okra is one of those vegetables that people either love or hate.

Instructions to make Fantastic Southern Fried Okra:

1. Pour oil in a semi deep skillet or pot. Make sure there is enough oil for the okra to float. You may need more or less oil depending on your pot. Turn on medium low and make sure oil reaches 350° slowly.
2. Rinse and chop okra into 1/4 inch rounds.
3. Put all dry ingredients in a plastic bag and shake to combine.
4. Put okra into plastic bag and shake to coat. Use Okra's natural juices to help the coating stick.
5. Let okra sit in the dry mix for about 5-10 minutes.
6. Shake the bag of okra again to make sure you are creating a nice coating. Let sit another 5-10 minutes.
7. The oil should be hot enough now so take a slotted spoon and scoop the okra out of the bag, shaking excess flour mixture off, and dump in oil.
8. Continue step 7 until your pot or skillet is full with okra.
9. After around 7 minutes scoop the okra out and place on a plate with a paper towel ( to soak up the oil) or place on a cooling rack.
10. Repeat steps 7,8, and 9 until complete.
11. Enjoy!

Remove with something that will allow extra cornmeal to fall away. Put on a plate until all okra is coated. Drain on brown paper or a wire rack. A typical Southern fried okra recipe calls for cornmeal. I personally avoid cornmeal in this recipe.
