FRIED OKRA

FRIED OKRA
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Serves: 6

Canola oil, for frying
1 pound okra
Salt
10 fresh sage leaves

Fill large pot with enough oil to reach 2" up the sides of the pot. Heat oil to 360 degrees F.

Thinly slice okra crosswise (I would call it slanted) (there will be about 6-8 slices from each). In batches, fry okra in the hot oil until edges turn golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Place okra on a serving platter. Fry sage leaves in a single batch until crisp and nearly translucent, about 1 minute. Transfer to paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with salt. When cool enough to handle, crumble sage leaves over okra and serve warm or at room temperature.
