I love fried okra...like really love it! 

I don't eat it very often because I am sure that it is not good for me. 

I recently saw this pic on Pinterest...

It was like angels were singing when I saw the pic...totally delish!

I clicked on the link and was intrigued when I saw that it was baked and not fried!

I followed the recipe (except I left out the Cajun seasoning) and gave baked okra a try!

 

Toss the okra in a zip-lock baggie and pour the corn meal over the top.

Give yourself a little arm workout when you shake it up and coat the okra.

 

Dump it into a strainer so that the extra corn meal is removed. 

Place on a baking sheet, spray with canola, and bake! 

 

Ta-da! 

I was pretty crispy and yummy! 

I don't know that I'd say it was as good as fried okra but I totally felt better about eating it! 

Enjoy!
