Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these Spicy Okra Fritters are packed with fresh herbs, warm spices, and vibrant flavors. A fun and modern way to enjoy okra as a healthy appetizer, light lunch, or vegetarian snack.
Finely slice the okra and place it in a bowl. Marinate with lemon juice for 5 minutes.
Add the green onions, parsley, mint, dill, chili, lemon zest, eggs, flour, salt, allspice, and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spoon portions of the mixture into the pan and flatten slightly to form fritters.
Cook for about 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve warm with fresh vegetables, lemon wedges, and your favorite dipping sauce.
For an even lighter version, cook the fritters in the air fryer at 190°C for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through.
