Recipe Notes
Please make sure to set aside okras for 10 minutes after adding salt. It will leave water and it will be easier to bind the flour with it.
These look really crispy and tasty. I’ve not cooked much with okra so it’s great to have some helpful tips too.

That texture is incredible! Fried okra is one of my favorites to order at restaurants, but great to know it’s so easy to make at home, too!
