Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 pound okra (rinsed and dried)
  • ½ Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ground pepper (to taste)
  • pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Trim the okra by cutting away the stem ends and the tips, just the very ends. Then cut the okra in half, lengthwise.
  • Place okra in a large bowl. Add oil and spices and toss to coat the okra halves.
  • Place okra on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, shaking or stirring the okra at least twice during the roasting time. You'll know the okra is ready when it's lightly browned and tender.
  • Serve hot as they tend to lose the crispy texture as they cool.
