Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 5 to 7 drops Tabasco sauce or ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 pounds fresh okra, washed, dried and cut into ½-inch rounds
- 6 strips uncooked bacon, diced
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce or cayenne; close and shake to combine. Add the okra pieces and shake to coat the okra in the cornmeal mixture.
- Arrange the okra in the baking dish in two layers. Top with the bacon pieces. Bake for 20 minutes; stir lightly to make sure all pieces come in contact with the bacon. Bake 5 to 10 minutes more, until the bacon is browned and the okra is crispy on the outside.

- Tip: Turn this into a vegetarian dish by replacing the bacon with a generous drizzle of olive oil.
- This is an easy treatment of summer okra.
