I’ve been making fried okra for years now, and I promise, it’s easier than it looks. I grew up watching the grown folks fry it up in a cast iron skillet, and now I keep it just as simple, just as good. If you’ve ever been intimidated by frying or worried about slimy okra, don’t stress and if you’ve been burned by slimy okra or bland breading before, this one will change your mind.
