Cindy..don't know if this is what you are looking for but this is what I do to it...cut in bite size pieces, dip it in egg wash, roll it around in cornmeal&flour mixture with salt and pepper in it..then deep fry it until it floats up.

I never heard of french fried okra. I just slice it up, salt it and dredge it in cornmeal, then fry it. If french fried is something different - I wouldn't mind trying it.

If you mean like a french fry? use small pods unsliced dropped into HOT oil they blister and float[becareful some may pop open] they should cook almost instantly and be drained on paper and salted, I like green beans this way too, some times I use flour or a egg batter.
