Ingredients
- 1 pound okra, washed, ends trimmed and sliced
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 egg white
- 1 cup fish fry breading
- Any neutral oil for frying
Instructions
- Gently mix your sliced, dry okra with mayonnaise and egg white in a mixing bowl.
- Once the okra is covered, sprinkle in the fish breading mixture and toss to coat.
- Heat a deep skillet over medium heat and add 1 inch of oil. Heat the oil to 350 degrees.
- Working in batches carefully add the okra to the hot oil, cook about 1 minute, turn and cook another 1-2 minutes or as needed for the okra to become golden brown.
- Carefully remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Notes
- Nutrition value does not include the oil because different oils and temperatures lead to different amounts of fat being absorbed by the breading.
