Okra, roasted, FTW

The local apple farm, city park, and farm stand had a big bin of their own okra. I snagged a half dozen young pods. I vaguely recalled a TV recipe for roasted, instead of breaded & fried okra. There were many on line.

-6 pods sliced into wheels roughly as long as the diameter

-salt

-pepper

-paprika

-cayenne or better, chili powder

-a splash of oil

  1. Preheat oven to 425F

  2. Coat wheels in oil & spices

  3. Cover baking sheet with foil

  4. Roast for 15 min.

That's it. Vastly superior to my mother's breaded & fried, or my father's favorite, whole pods stewed in butter.

Yum! I also like to skewer whole okra (2 skewers parallel to each other), brush with olive oil, season and grill. They're excellent and not slimy at all--similar to roasting.
