Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450°F with a baking sheet in the oven, & thoroughly wash okra pods. (The stem caps don’t have to be cut off, but can be if you prefer.)
Gently smash the okra with a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Whisk together buttermilk and egg in a bowl. Add okra; let soak for 3-5 minutes.
Combine cornmeal and blackened seasoning in a shallow dish; roll okra in cornmeal mixture to coat the pods in a thin, even layer.
Add canola oil to the hot sheet pan and carefully tilt the pan to coat evenly.
Place okra in a single layer on the pan and put into the pre-heated oven.
Bake until crisp, which should be approximately 30 minutes.
Be sure to turn the pods over with a spatula halfway through the baking time for even browning.
Once the okra has finished baking, you can transfer it to a serving dish or individual plates ,and enjoy.
