Crispy Fried Okra Fried okra is a dynamite side dish for all sorts of entrèes. But it’s as addictive as popcorn, so we often pass it during cocktail hours as a snack. Keep the fried okra warm in the oven in an uncovered earthenware dish. When the first guests arrive, fill a few butcher-paper or newspaper cones with the okra, shake some chile flakes and sea salt over them, and pass the cones around while the guests are tucking into their cocktails.
