1 Video | Photo: Fried Okra Recipe
Ingredients
- Canola oil, for frying
- 1 pound okra
- Salt
- 10 fresh sage leaves
Directions
Fill a large pot with enough oil to reach 2 inches up the sides of the pot. Heat oil to 360 degrees F.
Thinly slice okra crosswise. (There should be about 6 to 8 slices from each.) 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.

Very good recipe! Did not have the sage but used garlic salt and jalapeno powder.

This is a very good recipe. Most of my family members hate okra because it is slimy. Sliced the okra lengthwise as shown in the photo and fried in oil for about five minutes and drained on paper towels; doused with garlic salt. I didn't have the sage leaves but it was delicious. As soon as a batch was completed, it was eaten. Had to send to the store for more okra pods. This is a great recipe!

This is a good recipe however the problem is with the time that has given this recipe for completion. I believe sunny said it only takes 3 minutes-and that is so not the case. If you are looking for this dish to be crispy-which it was described as you will need to cook this recipe for at least 15 minutes for crispy.
Thanks-Its a great twist to an old favorite and I'm a southern girl who loves different varieties of okra.
