Summer in the South means it’s okra season! And this fried okra recipe makes for a delicious, crisp, and flavorful side dish.
Ingredients
- 12-14 oz fresh okra
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup cornmeal
- salt and pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- pinch of cayenne pepper
- oil for frying (avocado or vegetable oil)
Directions
- Trim the tops off the okra and then cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Place the pieces in a bowl with the buttermilk, stir, and allow to soak for 10 minutes.
- After soaking, transfer the okra to a colander to allow to drain a bit to remove the extra buttermilk, stirring occasionally (about 15 minutes).
- Meanwhile, make the breading mixture. In a gallon zipper bag, toss together the flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper to taste, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne. Place the drained okra in the bag and toss together until everything is fully coated.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat a depth of 1 inch of oil until the temperature reaches 350 degrees.
- Fry the okra in batches (to prevent overcrowding and lowering the oil temperature). Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side (until golden brown; keep an eye on it), flip, and cook the other side until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel lined plate and serve.

Whenever I start researching these posts, I start to worry I won’t find 25 things in the city I’m focusing on. I quickly found a lot of free things to do in St. Louis but almost felt like it was too good to be true! Did you know that the St. Louis Zoo has free admission? It’s one of the first zoos I’ve found outside Washington, D.C., that is free to enter. There are also a number of free opportunities to learn more about science and history while you explore this historic city.
Top 25 Free Things to Do in St Louis
See a show at the Muny Amphitheater
During the summer, there are approximately 1,450 free seats available during their shows. They’re available on a first-come, first-served basis, so get there early!
Increase your knowledge at the St. Louis Science Center
Admission to the Science Center is free, but there are special attractions within that may require a purchased ticket.
Browse the Contemporary Art Museum
Museums like this one are a great option for rainy days when you’re on a trip. Even if some of the art is unfamiliar or not your cup of tea, this is a fantastic way to expand your understanding of art!
Wander through the Laumeier Sculpture Park
If you want to enjoy art outside, check out this cool park with lots of sculptures to find and appreciate. It looks like a great place for a picnic as well!
