Frozen Fried Okra

This freezing method makes fried okra super convenient for fast and easy meals just about any time - ready for skillet or fryer.

Preheat oven to 350F and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Rinse and cut okra into wheels. Blanch in boiling water for 1 minute after the water returns to a boil. Plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Pat dry.

Dip in buttermilk. Then dip in cornmeal seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Lay the prepared wheels on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes to set the crust. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before placing in freeezer bags.
