Instructions
- Heat your grill on medium-high. You can use a dual-contact indoor grill, a grill pan, or an outdoor grill.
- Rinse the okra and dry it on paper towels.
- Place the okra in a large bowl and toss it with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Transfer the okra to the hot grill. Grill until tender, for about 10 minutes, turning frequently. If using a dual-contact grill, grill for about 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- The best way to vary this recipe is by adding spices. So, in addition to garlic powder, you could add ½ teaspoon of onion powder and a pinch of cumin. Cumin goes very nicely with okra.
- All types of grills work in this recipe. I've made it on a stovetop grill pan (a double one for the full recipe, a regular one for half the recipe), on a dual-contact electric grill, and on an outdoor grill.
- Grilled okra can be served as a snack with a simple dipping sauce: Mix 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon of hot sauce.
- You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. Reheat them gently in the microwave at 50% power. You can also snack on them cold antipasti style.
