Roasted Okra

This roasted okra recipe is so simple and easy. Stewed okra is great, but we like to roast ours from time to time for a little variety. Okra tends to be less gummy or slimy when roasted. A good Southern gardener needs okra recipes. In season, I find myself bringing in okra by the armload nearly every other day. Chopped tomato makes a great addition when we have some handy.

Ingredients

  • 18 fresh okra pods, sliced 1/3 inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper, or to taste

Step by step

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  3. Arrange okra in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil; sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven until okra is lightly browned and tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
