Slice some okra--watch out it's slimy!
Dip the okra in beaten eggs.
Coat with a flour mixture.
Fry in some vegetable oil.
Eat up!
Recipe:
1 cup okra slices, approximately
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt (or more or less to taste)
1 teaspoon chili powder
Vegetable oil
Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat, in a large skillet. It needs to be about 1/2-inch deep. Dip okra slices in eggs, and drain any excess egg. Coat okra with flour mixture. Put in hot oil, turning once until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Place okra on paper towel lined plate to remove any remaining oil and serve.
Just change your proportions according to the amount of okra you have. And, if you run out mid-cooking, it's easy to just whip up some more of the flour mixture.
