Fries and a burger, ho hum. Flip a switch on those boring fries by using okra! Easy to make and best when hot, these okra fries are still tasty at room temperature. Add the sweet and savory honey drizzle over these crispy fries—woo hoo!
1tablespooncrushed red pepper (adjust to your heat level)
½teaspooncinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Slice okra in half lengthwise. Pile on baking sheet and toss with oil. Spread out so the fries are not crowded (this helps them roast and keeps them from steaming). Roast about 8 minutes, toss and continue roasting for another 5–8 minutes until nice and crisply browned.
While the okra roasts, create the drizzle by combining honey, pepper and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside.
Remove the fries from the oven and dust with paprika. Sprinkle with salt. Drizzle with the cinnamon honey.
