Pre-heat oil in a fryer, large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. You want it about an inch or 2 deep. Just enough to cover the okra

In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, cornstarch, and seasonings.

Dip okra in milk ( I used plain almond milk) and then dredge in cornmeal mixture to coat well.

Carefully add okra to the hot oil and cook until golden brown. Careful not to over crowd. You may have to fry in batches.

Remove from oil, drain on paper towels, salt, and then serve immediately.Gluten Free
