Oven Roasted Okra

Oven Roasted Okra delivers a tender yet lightly browned vegetable side dish seasoned with fresh thyme, garlic powder, sea salt, and optional cayenne for a subtle heat. The preparation involves halving trimmed okra pods, tossing them in olive oil and spices, then roasting at high heat until they develop a gentle crispness. The roasting process brings out the okra's natural flavors while keeping a satisfying texture. Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the best texture, as the okra softens on cooling.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. Trim the okra by cutting away the stem ends and the tips, just the very ends. Then cut the okra in half, lengthwise.
  3. Place okra in a large bowl. Add oil and spices and toss to coat the okra halves.
  4. Place okra on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. 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.
  6. Serve hot as they tend to lose the crispy texture as they cool.
