Once again, I’m pairing up with Loam Agronomics to bring you paleo recipes featuring items from their weekly CSA boxes. This week, I’m sharing a recipe for paleo fried okra!

First off, can we all agree okra is like the weirdest? Not only does it look weird, but you cut into it and there is slime. Fun fact, the slime in okra is the same as the slime in aloe vera plants. Besides the slime, I love okra. Either fried or just cooked with some garlic and seasoning.
