Okra Fries (Lalo) and Potato Wedges (Baked)
Okra isn't the easiest vegetable to like. I spent 26 years disliking and avoiding it as I found it to be too slimy.
But I have the solution for you if like me you hate the slimy texture of lady fingers but would like to include them as they have many health benefits. Oven-baked okra fries that are just like tasty fries :)
You may even get your kid to like it, how does that sound?
