Crispy Cajun Oven-Roasted Okra Fries

Ingredients:

  • 15 oz of fresh okra, tops removed and sliced lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons avocado (or vegetable) oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F
  2. Place sliced okra in a bowl. Combine the okra, oil, cayenne pepper, sweet paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. On a baking sheet either topped with a wire rack or lined with parchment paper, place the okra in rows (do not overcrowd or overlap, otherwise it will not crisp). Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  4. To serve, sprinkle with fresh paprika
