Ingredients
1poundfresh okra
1tablespoonwhite vinegar
1tablespoonolive oil
½teaspoonkosher salt
¼teaspoongarlic powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
Rinse the okra and slice each pod lengthwise.
Place the sliced okra in a large bowl with enough water to completely cover. Add the vinegar and mix well. Let stand for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
Drain and rinse the sliced okra. Pat dry with paper towels.
Place the prepared okra in a large bowl and drizzle over the olive oil. Sprinkle in the salt and garlic powder. Toss until all pods are coated evenly with the oil and seasonings.
Put the seasoned okra on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, turning the okra halfway through the cooking time.
Remove the pan from the oven and re-set the temperature to 170 degrees. When the oven has cooled to 170, return the pan to the oven and prop the door slightly open.
Continue to bake for 2-3 hours or until crisp.
Notes
The final cooking time will depend on lots of factors - how small the okra is (smaller, young pods work best), how humid it is the day you're cooking, etc. Try one after two hours and continue cooking if needed. I usually cook mine for about 3 hours, but it could take even hours 4 or more if it's an especially humid day.
Be sure to let the chips cool completely before storing them. You can keep them in a sealed container for 2-3 days at room temperature.
