Notes
- 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!
