Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cover surface with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Prep: rinse and chop okra. In two separate mixing bowls, 1) combine flour, cornmeal, salt, & pepper in bowl 1 and 2) pour buttermilk in bowl 2.
  3. Drop chopped okra in bowl of buttermilk. Let soak completely submerged for a few moments. Transfer buttermilk-coated okra to bowl 1 with dry mixture. Place breaded okra on prepared baking sheet. Continue until all okra has been coated and breaded.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Flip okra with spatula. Return baking sheet to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes (or until cooked through).
  5. Transfer baked okra to a paper towel lined plate. Serve warm. Author, Erin Parker, suggests serving with ketchup and hot sauce.
