Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 pound small whole okra (, per person)
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste ((or seasonings of choice))
  • olive oil spray ((optional, if needed to prevent sticking))

Instruction

  • First, start with the smallest okra you can find. Larger okra tends to be woody, which wouldn't work in this recipe.
  • Wash the okra. Trim off any excess stems, but do not cut into the okra pod itself.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 F. Spray a shallow baking dish with olive oil, if necessary, add okra, and season to taste. Give the okra one quick (1/2 second) spray with olive oil and put them into the oven. Bake, stirring every 5 minutes, until okra is browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Serve hot out of the oven.
