Oven Baked Okra

What you need:

A few heaping handfuls of fresh okra (You could probably use thawed frozen too)
Just under a cup of almond flour
A couple TBSP of ground flax
A drizzle of oil
Salt, pepper, and garlic powder OR some kind of seasoning - I used Adobe seasoning.

Cut up okra and put in a plastic bag with seasoning and drizzle of olive oil. Shake it around and let it sit for a few minutes so the seasoning draws some more of that sticky moisture out of the okra.

Pour the almond flour and flax in the bag and shake it around until all covered. Let it sit again for a few minutes.

Pour okra out through some sort of sieve. What I did was I put my cooling rack on top of my cookie sheet, poured out the okra, and then put the extra 'breading' that fell through in a baggie to reuse another time.

Spread breaded okra out on cookie sheet. I did not use more oil, but you could coat it, if you thought it might stick to cookie sheet.

Cook on 375 or so for about 15 to 20 minutes or until it starts to brown on top. Flip the okra over as best you can and cook for another 15 to 20 minutes.

Take out and enjoy with a dipping sauce or just pop 'em like popcorn! Super yummy. I'll get a picture up next time I make this!


I made the following sauce and it was 'okay.'

Sour cream, sriracha, dash of soy sauce, a good shake of dried dill seed. It had a nice bite but not quite the balance I was looking for. I wanted something a little more horseradishy, I think, but have fun with it!
