Grilled Okra Recipe
Description
The recipe involves rinsing and drying fresh okra and tossing it with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. The seasoned okra is grilled over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, turning frequently, until tender and slightly charred. This cooking method works equally well on indoor grill pans, electric grills, or outdoor charcoal or gas grills.
The flavor is mild with a light smoky note enhanced by simple seasonings. Additional spices like onion powder or cumin can be added to complement the garlic. Grilled okra may be served warm as a snack accompanied by dipping sauces made from mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce or served cold as an antipasti.
Leftover okra keeps well refrigerated for several days and reheats gently in the microwave. This recipe is flexible and easily adapted to various grilling methods and flavor preferences.
