Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and place oil on a metal baking sheet.
  2. Chop the okra into one-inch pieces, discarding top caps, and pointy bottoms.
  3. Place the okra and cauliflower on the baking sheet and use your hands to toss in oil. Sprinkle with potato starch, cumin seeds, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt and toss to coat again.
  4. Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes, remove from the oven and toss for even browning, and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until vegetables are both browned and crispy.
  5. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and add lemon juice just before serving.

Notes

  • Note: Enjoy with a side of basmati rice or a la carte!
  • Note: Enjoy with a side of basmati rice or a la carte!
  • Buy okra close to the time you plan to cook it. It's quite fragile and doesn't hold well long-term in the fridge.
  • Avoid large okra as they are quite woody in flavor with a tough, more fibrous texture.
  • Use a large baking tray with enough space to spread out the veggies. When too close together they steam rather than roast and may not crisp up enough.
  • If you can’t find okra or aren’t a fan, make this with just cauliflower or cauliflower and mushrooms instead - it will be delicious!
