Sorry, but I just made "french fries" out of sweet potatoes in coconut oil, and they were better than any okra I've ever tried. Okra is ok, don't get me wrong.

[QUOTE=lev96;267616]Finally just got around to trying your recipe, and my taste buds say... its a winner! Good stuff, thanks![/QUOTE]
Glad you liked it lev96!! Thanks for reporting back:-)
And no doubt tfarny, sweet potatoes are definitely better than okra to me too, but okra was in abundance at that time, plus okra is a better choice for me right now since I have a few pounds to lose. But if it is was my last meal and I had to choose, I'd pick sweet potatoes over okra too! :-)
Here is a recipe that I tried last night where you cut the pods in half first: [url=http://lesleyeats.com/2012/08/06/oven-roasted-okra-fries/]Oven Roasted Okra Fries | Lesley Eats[/url]
They were pretty blah but perked up with a little olive oil and vinegar plus celtic sea salt. Easy and quick way to fix okra...they are good later right out of the fridge, too.
