Crispy Baked Okra
Crispy Baked Okra turns frozen cut okra into a light, crunchy bite with a golden cornmeal-panko crust and a hint of garlic and pepper. The exterior bakes up shatteringly crisp while the inside stays tender, offering a lighter riff on classic fried okra. Serve hot as a snack, appetizer, or an easy side for weeknight dinners and cookouts.

Microwave the frozen okra using your microwave's frozen vegetable setting, or on high for 8 minutes. Drain and let it cool on paper towels for about 5 to 10 minutes. Coat generously with butter flavored cooking spray. Put the cornmeal, panko bread crumbs, garlic salt, and pepper into a plastic food storage bag. Add the okra to the bag and shake to coat it with the cornmeal mixture.

Take the okra out of the bag and arrange it on the prepared baking rack. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and crispy, about 15 to 20 minutes.
