Crispy Skillet Okra (No Breading!!)

Step 1

Turn your skillet on medium heat and get it nice and hot.

Step 2

While you're waiting for the skillet to heat up, wash and slice your okra into 1 inch long sections.

Step 3

When the skillet is hot, add cooking oil (I use canola since olive oil can become bitter at higher heat) and toss in the okra. It should sizzle! This helps seal the juices in the okra and gives it a crispy outside.

Step 4

Stir the okra around until it starts to brown, then drop in your sliced onion and season with soul food seasoning (I love Sylvia's). Continue cooking and stirring until the onion is transparent.

Step 5

Remove from heat and serve.
