Easy Roasted Okra
Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best!
Easy Roasted Okra
This easy roasted okra is tasty as a simple side dish or appetizer and, aside from the flavor brought out by roasting, what makes it so great is this:
- This okra is baked; not fried and
- when it’s finished roasting, there is absolutely no sliminess to the vegetables whatsoever.
I’ve never been a fan of the slime factor with okra (who has, right?) and that is no longer an issue with this cooking method and the #1 reason roasting is now my go-to way of preparing okra.
Pro tip: When selecting your okra, look for firm, brightly colored pods that are no more than 4″ in length (shorter pods tend to have less slime to begin with) and are without bruises or soft spots.
Ingredients for Easy Roasted Okra:
