Step 1

Once okra has been cut (with tips and stems rdicarded) rinse the okra well. Toss okra pieces with all-purpose flour. Use a strainer to shake off excess flour.

Step 2

In a separate bowl beat egg. Pour okra into egg and toss to coat each piece. In a zipper plastic bag pour cornmeal, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour 1 cup of okra into bag at a time and shake well to coat each piece. Repeat until the okra is all coated. If you don’t have a baggie then you can dredge the pieces by tossing the okra in the cornmeal using 2 forks.

Step 3

Heat enough oil for deep frying to medium-high heat or until a thermometer reads 350˚F. Fry in small batches, removing okra from oil when the outer color is golden brown (about 2 minutes each side.

Step 4

Place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with a side of ketchup, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.
