I've never made okra fritters before with parmesan, but I loved the addition. Just the right amount of spiciness and great flavor. Made for Dining Daredevils ZWT 5

WOW! These were wonderful! I used frozen sliced okra from my garden instead of fresh. These came together very quickly and were just great. Made for Beverage Tag.
