A side dish or snack—simple, healthy and pays tribute to fried okra. I like it hot from the oven with some spicy salsa.
Ingredients:
1lb of fresh okra, diced (frozen does not crisp up well)
1 tbsp of water, cornmeal and white poppy seeds
2tbsp of oil
salt, pepper and chilli powder according to taste
spicy, chunky salsa for serving!
Method:
Chop the okra and put in a bowl.
Add water, cornmeal, poppy seeds and seasonings. Toss to combine and coat.
Coat a cast-iron skillet with oil and add the okra.
Roast for 20 mins at 400F. Halfway through roasting, stir and toss the okra a little bit.
Serve hot!
Such an interesting recipe. I’ve never seen white poppy seeds. I’ll definitely look for them now. 🙂

By the way, if interested, check out my recipe for oven baked okra. I’m always fascinated by how the same ingredient is used differently in different cuisines. 🙂
