Bacon Wrapped Okra
When the produce box arrive it contained okra, I’ve only ever had fried okra and that’s not very paleo. So I decided to do what any good paleo would do, wrap it in bacon. The result = awesome.
The recipe is so easy it’s ridiculous.
Ingredients
- Okra
- Bacon
Directions
- Thoroughly wash and dry the okra (make sure it’s dry or it could become slimy while cooking).
- Wrap a slice of bacon around the okra
- Fry in a pan over Medium or Medium/High Heat (the same way you fry bacon).
- Rotate the okra to fry all sides of the bacon until crispy
- Eat
Now wasn’t that easy?
I wasn’t sure if the okra would be good if I cooked it that way but I figured, there’s always bacon. Luckily it came out delicious.
I have never tried Okra before, because well, it seems weird & scary 🙂 haha I like EASY recipes and trying new things, so I will have to try this, thanks!
Well, they do say that everything is better with bacon…so maybe even okra?
Wonder if this would be good with turkey bacon?
OOOOH! Amelia! that sounds good!!
I love okra in any form, so this is right up my alley! Wonder if my boys would it if I wrapped it in bacon?
I’ve had guys tell me they would eat crayons if they were wrapped in bacon so I think okra is totally acceptable.
I’ve only had okra once or twice. I can’t remember if I enjoyed those encounters or not. I like bacon though so I’d give this a shot.
Catherine that was my reasoning… I figured if the okra was no good at least I could still eat the bacon.
