Step 1

Wash the okra and pat dry or let air dry slightly, this helps keep the okra from getting too slimy. Trim off the tops and tip, then slice into about 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Heat a large sillet over medium-low heat. Add the oil and the sliced okra. Cook, stirring minimally, until the okra is shrunken in size and golden in places, about 8 minutes.

Step 3

Add the spices and salt and let fry 1-2 additional minutes. Turn off heat and enjoy!
