Oven Roasted Okra
Ingredients
- 1/2 to 1 pound fresh okra
- Cooking spray
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- Garlic powder
- Cayenne pepper (optional, but it makes a great addition to spice things up a bit!)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper
- Wash and dry the okra. Cut off the pod ends and slice okra in half length-wise.
- Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Coat okra lightly with cooking spray.
- Season okra with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (cayenne if you want a little kick)
- Place into the preheated oven and roast for about 15 minutes. Flip and roast for an additional 15 minutes. The okra should be crispy but tender.
- If you have any leftovers, let the okra cool and then add them to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for 2-3 days. The best way to reheat is to pop them back in the oven for a few minutes so you do not lose the crispy edges!
