Instructions

Wash and thoroughly dry the Okra. If using fresh okra, slice off the stem end and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine all Coating ingredients.
In a separate bowl, pour the Buttermilk.
Dip the Okra pieces into the Buttermilk, then dredge in the Cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Heat the Vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the coated Okra to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per batch, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried Okra with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately.
