Crispy and tangy baked okra chips seasoned with garlic and salt.
Allowed for Ideal Protein phases 1 to 3.
These okra chips are baked in the oven with vinegar, garlic, salt and a small amount of olive oil. The finished snack contains an estimated four grams of protein and approximately six grams of fiber per serving.
Drying the okra thoroughly and arranging it in one layer helps the pieces roast instead of steam. For greater crispness, leave enough room between the pieces and cool them before serving.
Okra chips are easy to season and provide both texture and vegetable-based fiber. They work well as a snack on their own or as a crisp side for sandwiches, lettuce wraps and protein-based meals.
