Okra Kawaida

Okra is an antioxidant and fiber-packed supervegetable credited to East Africa and a staple of southern US cuisine. Spicy cornmeal-encrusted okra is a long-enduring favorite for celebrations—and must-have during the Kwanzaa holiday. Kawaidi is the Swahili term for the “tradition and wisdom” principles that guide the Kwanzaa holiday, fitting for this baked upgrade of the traditional deep-fried version, enhanced with classic seasonings that maximize the health value.
