Fried Okra - Easy Pan Fried Recipe - PoorMansGourmet

Season the okra first with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Cover the seasoned okra with flour, adding 1/4 cup at a time and stirring until fully coated.

If you want a thicker layer of batter, apply the buttermilk first, then add the flour.

In a hot pan on medium heat, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.

Spread the okra evenly in the pan and turn the heat to medium-high.

Cook for 1 to 2 minutes before tossing, then cook the okra until golden brown on all sides.

Serve hot.
