Orange Balsamic Roasted Okra Recipe
Description
The Orange Balsamic Roasted Okra Recipe prepares fresh okra cut lengthwise and tossed with olive oil and salt before roasting at 450 degrees to achieve a nicely browned, tender texture. While the okra roasts, a glaze is prepared by boiling together orange zest and juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic until reduced to roughly half, intensifying the flavors. This glaze is then tossed with the hot roasted okra to coat it evenly, giving a bright and slightly sweet flavor profile with acidic depth from the balsamic. The dish is finished with fresh orange slices and freshly ground black pepper to add freshness and a mild spicy note, creating a well-rounded vegetable side that pairs well with grilled or roasted main dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb okra cut in half lengthwise
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- orange zest and juice from 1 orange
- 1 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 small garlic very finely minced, clove
- orange to serve, slices, fresh ground pepper
- black pepper to serve, slices, fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Toss the okra with the olive oil and sea salt and spread them out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast the okra for 25 minutes.
- While the okra is roasting, prepare the glaze. In a small frying pan over high heat, add the orange zest, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, and garlic. Bring it to a boil and let it boil rapidly, whisking occasionally until it has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. If it reduces a little too much, just add another splash of orange juice or water.
- Once the okra is nicely browned remove it from the oven and toss it with the orange glaze. Serve the okra with orange slices and a little fresh ground pepper.
