Fried Okra Recipes

Oh no, another fried okra recipe! Yes, but this one is different. It uses crushed cashew nuts (which if you can't buy locally, can be substituted) and toasted wheat germ and sesame seeds for added fiber. My boys all love it and it's eaten up every time I make it.

The only okra I've every liked

southern fried okra and chopped new potatoes.

This is a traditional Southern dish altered a little to make it more healthy. I have replaced the traditional salt and pepper with other seasoning and use the sunflower in place of shortening or lard.

If you HAVE to have some fried okra, then this is the best way to do it without sacrificing ANY of the flavor!! Honestly!!

Best when fresh veggies are used

Pan fried okra, bhendi.

Healthy alternative to my favorite fried southern dish, fried okra.
It's really good too. This particular breading means giving you 7.8g fiber and 6.8g protein with each of your 106 calories per serving.

Alternative to frying
