Okra Fries
The key here is using cornstarch and rice flour. Cutting the okra in half from top to bottom, the seeds cling to the rice flour and cornstarch so the batter isn’t going anywhere.
- Vegetable oil for deep-frying
- 1 pound okra, pods halved lengthwise
- 1 medium egg, beaten
- ¾ cup rice flour
- ¾ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Kosher salt
