Oven Roasted Okra
Move over fried okra! This method for roasted okra comes together quickly and tastes delicious - perfectly seasoned, not slimy at all and even a little crispy. It's my fave way to prepare fresh okra.

Ingredients
- 1 pound okra rinsed and dried
- ½ Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ground pepper to taste
- pinch of cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Trim the okra by cutting away the stem ends and the tips, just the very ends. Then cut the okra in half, lengthwise.
- Place okra in a large bowl. Add oil and spices and toss to coat the okra halves.
- Place okra on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, shaking or stirring the okra at least twice during the roasting time. You'll know the okra is ready when it's lightly browned and tender.
- Serve hot as they tend to lose the crispy texture as they cool.
