My family loves okra! Whether it boiled, fried or mixed in a dish, we love it! This dish has a Southern flavor with a mix with a hint of Cajun. They are great dipped in ranch.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
If you like fried okra, you have to try this recipe. Dipping the okra in buttermilk first and then breading it, gives the deep-fried okra an extra crunchy texture. The Creole seasoning delivers a nice kick of spicy flavor. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or even eat the okra as is. Yum!

How To Make jen's deep fried cajun okra
-
1If using whole fresh okra, wash thoroughly, drain, and cut stems off. You can slice them in half length-wise or slice them into 1/2 inch rounds. Frozen cut okra saves time. Place in a bowl and set aside.
-
2Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. (You may not need to use this much oil; do not fill the pan more than halfway up the sides with oil.) Get a cookie sheet and line with paper towels. Set aside.
-
3In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
-
4In a separate bowl add buttermilk and hot pepper sauce. Whisk together.
-
5Dip okra in buttermilk and then dredge in cornmeal-flour mixture to coat well.
-
6Carefully add okra to the HOT oil and cook until golden brown. (It may be necessary to fry the okra in batches.)
-
7Remove from oil, drain on paper towels, and then serve immediately with favorite dipping sauce.
