Cranky OkraTM - Low Fat, Low Calorie Vegetable Recipe for Dieters
Like fried okra? Then you will love Spit Fired Okra! It's got all the taste, but none of the fat.
Every time that I prepare this recipe, I have so many people ask me, "Where did you get that beautiful golden fried okra?" When I tell them that it's not fried, rather baked, they can't believe it. And when they taste it, they really can't believe it's not fried. But believe me - it's not fried BUT it tastes fried. This recipe will produce golden clusters of okra that taste just like fried okra!

- Ingredients for Low
Calorie, Low Fat 'Fried Cranky Okra'
- 4 cups of fresh okra, washed and sliced thin (about 1/4 inch or thinner if desired)
- 1 cup of yellow cornmeal
- salt & pepper
- water
- non stick cooking spray, butter flavored works best
- 4 cups of fresh okra, washed and sliced thin (about 1/4 inch or thinner if desired)
Place sliced okra into a bowl and add cornmeal, salt and pepper. The okra will appear to be 'dusted' by the cornmeal. Next, add a bit of water to the bowl. Add just a bit of water at a time because YOU will control the look and feel of your okra batter. Some people like their okra battered heavily, some don't. So adjust the water accordingly.
Next, pull the loose cornmeal that has settled into the bottom of the bowl over the 'dusted' okra. Batter should clump around the dusted okra.
Spray a cookie sheet with the cooking spray and spread the battered okra onto the sheet. Next, spray the top of the okra with the cooking spray. Be generous!
Pop the okra into a 350 degree pre-heated oven. Cook for 15 minutes, then remove and turn the okra. Spray with the buttery spray one more time and return to the oven. Be sure to remove the okra before spraying because the spray can ignite is you spray the pan while it is still inside of the oven.
Cook an additional 15 minutes, or until okra is golden brown.
The entire recipe contains zero fat and about 600 calories (400 coming from the cornmeal). Recipe will serve 4 people VERY GENEROUSLY for about 150 calories each.
