Baked "Fried" Okra

What you’ll need:
-bag of frozen cut okra
-Italian style bread crumbs
-paprika
-2 egg whites
-salt & pepper
:: In a bowl, toss together bread crumbs, a few healthy shakes of paprika, and salt & pepper.
:: In a separate bowl, toss a handful of your cut okra in the egg whites until they are nicely coated.
:: Take each piece of okra and cover with your bread crumb mixture. I usually push each side into the bread crumbs so they stick to the egg whites.

:: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the okra on the baking sheet and make sure they aren’t touching one another.
:: Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes, turning your okra halfway.
:: Crunch & enjoy!
