Ingredients

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with enough oil to reach 2 inches up the sides of the pot. Heat oil to 360 degrees F.
  2. Thinly slice okra lengthwise. In batches, fry okra in the hot oil until edges turn golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Place okra on a serving platter. Fry sage leaves in a single batch until crisp and nearly translucent, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. When cool enough to handle, crumble sage leaves over okra and serve warm or at room temperature.
