I don't have an actual recipe. I take the okra pod and slice it like you would if you were going to fry it, season it w/ savory spicey seasonings of your choice (I have used garlic powder and black pepper w/ a cajun mixed and also w/ a oriental spicey mix seasoning) place them in the dehydrator and dehydrate until crispy. They turn out very crunchy like fried okra, but no fat or cholesterol or added carbs (breading). This is my first time doing it, I was just trying to find a way to eat it that I would eat.
Thanks! The stuff I buy from the store has a ton of fat. I'm going to give this a try. I just wish I would get more than a handful of pods each day. I've been sticking them in brine in the fridge because there's not enough for much else, except maybe a batch of grilled or fried. I love it grilled, too. Pickles and the dried from the store are my favorites, grilled is my favorite cooking method.
Now that it cooled down a bit ( if you call yesterdays' 102 cool), they are starting to produce more.
Next year, I really need to plant a long row of okra. It's the only thing that has a chance here in our summer heat, besides amaranth for the chickens.
I am going to plant it as shade next year, put other plants to the east of the okra, so the other plants get the morning sun but are shaded by the okra in the afternoon. I don't know if it will work, but figured it was worth a try.
This is my first year to grow okra, will it bear until killing frost? or since it is a heat lover will it slow down as it cools?
