Cut the fresh okra into 1/2 inch pieces.
2
Beat the two large eggs in a separate shallow dish and stir in 1 tablespoon of water.

In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, unseasoned bread crumbs, sea salt, black pepper and paprika. Whisk these dry ingredients together to form a uniform mixture.

Dip the okra pieces into beaten eggs coating on all sides.
5
Roll the now moistened okra pieces in the flour and cornmeal mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Place the breaded okra on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7
Repeat the dipping and coating process until all okras are ready.
8
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Fry the okra in batches, until golden brown and crisp. This should take about 4-5 minutes per batch.
10
Use a slotted spoon to remove fried okra from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove the excess oil.
11
Once all the okra is fried and drained, they're ready to serve. Enjoy them while they are warm.
