Oven Fried Okra

1 1/4 cups corn meal
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
4 cups fresh okra
Vegetable cooking spray


Combine first 3 ingredients. Set aside. Wash okra and drain. Cut off tip and stems. Cut okra into 1/2 inch
slices. Dredge in corn meal mixture. Okra must be moist for corn meal mixture to coat well. Rinse again
before dredging, if necessary.

Lightly coat a 15 x 10 x 1-inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray. Spread
okra in a single layer. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 40 minutes or until crisp, stirring occasionally.

Serves 8.
