Zesty Roasted Okra
Description
This Zesty Roasted Okra recipe uses fresh okra tossed with olive oil and a blend of spices including sea salt, ground cumin, ancho chile powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Roasting at 450 degrees Fahrenheit crisps the okra's exterior and concentrates its flavors. Tossing the okra well ensures an even coating of seasonings, and spreading it out prevents overcrowding for consistent roasting. Stirring or shaking the pan halfway through cooking promotes uniform browning and texture. The final result is a savory vegetable with a slightly smoky and spicy edge, highlighting the distinct flavors of the spice mix paired with the natural freshness of okra.
