Ingredients

  • 1 pound okra
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Keep very small okra pods whole, slice slightly larger ones lengthwise, and large ones crosswise into discs. Preheat your oven to 425°F
  2. Toss the okra in the olive oil, then the remaining ingredients. Keep in mind you can use whatever spice mix makes you happy. If you use some mix that includes salt, don't add any more salt. Roast in one layer on a baking sheet for 20 minutes, turning once. You want to see some crisping along the edges.
  3. Serve hot or at room temperature with a squeeze of lemon or lime.
