Ingredients
- 1 lb okra cut in half lengthwise
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Zest and juice from 1 orange
- 1 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 small garlic clove very finely minced
- Orange slices and fresh ground pepper to serve
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.
