Keto Southern Fried Okra
Want a low carb, gluten-free version of Southern fried okra? Three simple ingredients make the breading crispy, flavorful and irresistible: pork rind breadcrumbs, almond flour and Parmesan.
The breading amounts are a ratio; use more or less depending on how much you're cooking. Serve with cowboy candy if you like.
