Corn Okra Creole is such a great summer side dish. Corn, okra, and diced tomatoes combine with creole spices to make a fresh, healthy, and flavorful dish.
Make Year Round
Corn Okra Creole is a great way to use fresh summer corn and okra from the farmers market. But you could enjoy it all year long by using frozen corn and okra.
This is a great dish to try if you think you don’t like okra and its sliminess. You’ll notice when you first start cooking the okra, it is really slimy, but the longer you cook it, the less slimy it gets.
In addition to corn, okra, and tomatoes this recipe also contains onion and green bell pepper. A tablespoon of tomato paste is added to up the tomato flavor.
Corn Okra Creole Recipe Tips
You can use any kind of Creole seasoning or Cajun seasoning. I like to use Tony Chachere’s or Zatarains. Plus I add some Tabasco sauce for extra heat. Serve with extra Tabasco sauce if you want it more spicy and a side of cornbread is great with it too.
This dish makes a great addition to a summer cookout and goes well with grilled chicken, steak, or pork.

This dish was SO fresh and yummy. Feels good eating something that’s super good for me. Thanks for the wonderful posting!
So good! I used to get okra corn and tomatoes from a nearby bbq place but they relocated a couple of years ago. I recently saw okra in the grocery store and decided to give it a try. This recipe tastes just like I used to get, if not better! Thank you so much!
Great dish for upcoming summer parties! I’ll definitely make it this weekend for my next family reunion. Thanks for sharing, Christin! 😀
Looks delicious! Going to try this one definitely!
Is say add corn and pepper , then add okra and corn again .
Explain please
I think it’s supposed to be green pepper and onion then add okra and corn.
I think she meant onion where she says corn the first time. Usually I saute my bell pepper with the onion. I picked up on the typo like you did. (:
