In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, combine 1 cup of cornmeal, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika for flavor.
Dip the okra pieces into the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then dredge them in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to coat each piece evenly.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 375°F. Fry the okra in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried okra and drain on paper towels.
Serve the crispy fried okra bites hot with a side of ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy this delicious, crunchy Southern snack! Voir moins
