Mexican Spiced Crispy Baked Okra
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh okra ⠀
- 2 tbsp egg replacer ⠀
- 1/4 cup water⠀
- 1/4 cup gluten free breadcrumbs⠀
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil (optional)⠀
- spice mix ?⠀
- 2 tsp dried oregano⠀
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika⠀
- 1/2 tsp cumin⠀
- 1/4 tsp ground coriander⠀
- salt, pepper and chilli powder to taste⠀
Preparation
Preheat oven to 220ºc (430ºf) - drop 20ºc if using fan force
Line a baking tray with baking paper
Rinse the uncut okra in a colander then pat it dry using a very absorbent kitchen towel, or some paper towel
Make sure there is no moisture left on the okra⠀
Whisk the egg replacer with the water in a small bowl to form a smooth paste
In a larger bowl, add all the spice mix ingredients and the breadcrumbs and toss together until well combined
Holding an okra by the stem, roll it in the egg-replacer paste and then roll it in the spice/breadcrumb mix so it's evenly coated
Place it on the baking tray and repeat for all the okra
If using the olive oil, drizzle it evenly across the prepared okra on the baking tray - this will make them a little extra crispy⠀
Bake for 15 minutes?
