Roasted Okra (slime-free)
- Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 lb [455 g] okra, trimmed and sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F [230°C].
- Place the okra on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and use your hands to evenly coat. Move half of the okra to another baking sheet so as not to crowd the pan.
- If you want to minimize sliminess, flip each piece so that it is cut-side-up and spaced out evenly. Sprinkle evenly with salt.
- Roast for about 20 minutes until browned and tender.*
Notes
* If you have a giant, powerful oven, you can get away with roasting the two sheet pans at the same time. If your oven is on the smaller, less powerful side, you may want to work in batches, roasting the first sheet pan and then the second after it’s done. Smaller ovens struggle to maintain a high temperature and have a hard time heating a lot of mass all at once. High heat is important to this recipe—know your oven!
