In the interest of full disclosure, I thought I'd share a recipe which completely did NOT work. I am not sure if it's my cooking skills, the recipe, or a combination of the two. I really like fried okra (especially since moving to Alabama - they definitely know how to do fried vegetables here...well, really, fried anything down here...) and thought I'd try a healthier version. This okra is baked instead of fried, but is supposed to still come out crispy.
Getting ready to coat the okra - soaking in the buttermilk mixture
I was so careful to coat EACH piece evenly... ready for the oven!
Finished product
They actually didn't LOOK half bad - maybe a little blackened in a few spots, but for the most part okay. They tasted TERRIBLE however - very bland, over cooked, etc. This will be one I cross OFF the list for next time!
